About Us | Life Insurance Made Easy

The process of buying life insurance is flawed:

Through selling thousands of policies from the biggest insurers, to consulting senior executives at these companies themselves, our founders learned firsthand how broken the industry was.

Dishonest: Agents often recommend policies that give them the highest commission, not the best coverage for you

Uncertain: It takes weeks or months to find out whether you've been approved for life insurance

Expensive: Life insurance policies include countless unnecessary expenses and processes that inflate the cost

Uncomfortable: Getting advice and buying a policy involves multiple uncomfortable meetings with multiple people

Misleading: Insurance companies advertise accelerated or simplified application processes, while charging you a higher rate than you should be

We're on a mission to fix it
