Who We’re Looking For

everyday rally cry. We are rewriting the rules of the 400-year-old, $7 trillion life insurance

industry, serving communities who have been underserved in the past, and we believe the

future is a bright one.

So, if you’re excited by the idea of building an industry-defining brand from scratch, working at a

mission-driven company, and fundamentally shaking up an age-old industry, read on, friend.
