Ctrl: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Ctrl is a South Africa’s first independent car and household insurance advice app. But let’s backtrack a bit. Before we became Ctrl, we were just a few friends who noticed the frustrations people had with their insurance and the uncertainty about what they were covered for and what not. We thought, surely there must be a better, simpler way. There must be a way to have more say and be less dependent on call centre agents, or brokers who expect you to fill out endless forms. That’s when we formed Ctrl and started building an app that would give consumers more control – an app that would create a convenient short-cut to getting decent short-term insurance and solid advice to go with it.

About FundedIQ's Ctrl Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Ctrl is left off this page rather than filled in.
