Our take
Ladder is a life insurance company whose primary aim is to simplify the process of acquiring life insurance. In the past, getting coverage for life insurance has been a lengthy and time-consuming affair, but with Ladder, applicants can answer a few questions and sign up on their phones.
Jamie, the current CEO, felt the life-changing impact of life insurance on his own family when he lost his father at a young age before struggling to get life insurance policies for himself as an adult.
The market for life insurance in the US alone is worth over $128 billion, and Ladder faces stiff competition from Haven Life, a subsidiary of insurance giant MassMutual. Ladder will face stiff competition when traditional insurers undergo the digital transformation needed to join Ladder in offering five-minute life insurance policies via smartphone.
