Bestow is a smarter approach to life insurance using big data and technology to bring simple and affordable coverage to everyone.

Who We Are

We’re not your typical life insurance company. We’re on a mission to bring life insurance within reach to more people than ever before. To get there, we had to reimagine traditional industry assumptions, letting technology and big data lead the way. The result? Magnitudes of improvement over the status quo. And we’re just getting started.
