Ethos is a San Francisco-based company that has been selling term life insurance from Assurity Life Insurance Company through a website at http://www.ethoslife.com. Ethos managers say the company starts with the idea that “everyone deserves access to ethically designed, easy-to-understand term life insurance policies tailored to fit people’s lives.”
The company uses online technology to speed up the underwriting process.
The list of investors in the new round of funding includes Google’s GV affiliate, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital and Accel.
Ethos has now raised a total of $100 million in outside capital through three rounds of funding.
Managers say the company has quadrupled revenue since October 2018, and that they will use the new capital to refine products and hire people who can help run and improve the website.
