Bestow named one of America's Best Startup Employers 2026 by Forbes

Bestow has been named to Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers 2026 list, and we couldn't be more proud.

For the seventh consecutive year, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to identify the best startup workplaces in the country. This year's ranking evaluated more than 20,000 U.S.-based startups, ultimately selecting 500 companies that demonstrated exceptional performance across three key areas: company reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth. Being named to this list is a meaningful honor and a reflection of the team we've built here at Bestow.

Why This Matters to Us

At Bestow, we're on a mission to modernize life insurance — and we've always believed that building great technology starts with building a great team. This recognition affirms that the culture, benefits, and career opportunities we've invested in are resonating with the people who show up every day to do the work.

It's also worth noting the broader context of this year's list. In 2025, U.S. startups attracted approximately $274 billion in venture funding, representing 64% of all global startup capital, up from 56% the year prior. The startup ecosystem is more competitive than ever, which makes earning a spot on this list all the more significant.
