## About Dayforward

Dayforward is a fully-digital life insurance company founded in 2019 and based in New York, NY.

As a private, Series B-stage insurtech startup, it aims to provide accessible and affordable life insurance solutions that focus on income protection for families across the U.S. The company has raised approximately $45 million in funding, including a $25 million Series B round led by AXA Venture Partners. Dayforward offers a direct-to-consumer life insurance platform that allows customers to apply for policies online, receive instant coverage decisions, and manage their policies digitally. The company also provides enterprise insurance solutions to carriers and distributors, enabling them to create new insurance products and access advanced underwriting technology. With the acquisition of Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Company, Dayforward has expanded its capabilities to underwrite and issue its own policies, with plans to grow into disability, health, and retirement insurance. The company is currently expanding its reach across the U.S. and aims for national coverage in the coming years.
