In 2021, Bestow doubled headcount and revenue year-over-year while achieving pivotal business milestones, including strategic partnerships powered by its platform, becoming the first full-stack challenger carrier, and launching a SaaS offering which is a first-of-its-kind solution for the life insurance industry.
