Besides, it aims to launch its proprietary solutions through strategic partners. In addition, the company has plans to develop new insurance products for its portfolio.

Moreover, Dayforward’s acquisition of Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Company (CTLIC) enables it to expand nationally and broaden its product lines across life, health, disability and retirement, making the company a more comprehensive financial security solution to its customers and partners.

As a full-stack insurance company with a focus on automated underwriting and a streamlined front-end, Dayforward is positioned to innovate across core areas of the industry and seeks to bring customized products to the market that fit specific customer needs. We are excited to partner with Aaron and the team.”

In addition, Manish Agarwal, General Partner at AVP, said, “Companies have talked about the life insurance gap in the US forever. Dayforward is on a mission to help close this gap and bring financial security to millions of under-insured Americans by rethinking the life insurance buying process from the group up, starting with an innovative product design, a modern way of educating and approaching customers and delivering a seamless buying experience powered by clean UI and data-driven underwriting. We are thrilled to be part of their journey and partner with Aaron and the team in building a great company.”

Besides, Patrick Chun, Founding and Managing Partner of Juxtapose, said, “The life insurance industry is going through a massive transformation, and Dayforward has been driving significant change in the space.

We’re thrilled to partner with Aaron and his team as they continue to redefine insurance products across the industry.”
