Brian Kaas, President CMFG Ventures and JennyLife board member, commented, "JennyLife has made tremendous progress since its launch and is poised to become the most trusted source for helping families maintain financial stability should they endure life's darkest moments. We are impressed with JennyLife's talented team of industry veterans and their category-leading technology that makes them well positioned to take advantage of the considerable market opportunity in the insuretech space."

JennyLife is co-founded by veteran insurance executives, Chirag Pancholi and Lief Larson - two kick-ass husbands - who said "no more!" to the old ways of getting life insurance. They witnessed firsthand the deep frustrations experienced by their wives as they followed the tedious steps of the traditional life insurance buying process. Health exams. Blood tests. Urine samples. Lengthy phone and paper applications that took weeks. So much time and energy, and still the risk of getting denied? This system was broken and it was time for a serious upgrade. The entrepreneurs gave this industry the makeover it needed and made it their mission to change how women enroll in life insurance. They developed a new life insurance technology and created the JennyLife native apps, Web app, and text (SMS) capabilities to modernize this process.

"JennyLife is transforming the way people think about life insurance," said Chirag Pancholi, co-founder and chief executive officer of JennyLife. "In the face of these tough economic times, this additional financing allows us to continue to grow JennyLife and advance our product and business around the nation." He continued, "In this business climate, people are hungrier than ever for information about their financial security. We're improving the breadth, depth, and quality of our offerings to support the growing interest we're seeing from families."

Women have typically had less access to tools that promote financial stability. Only one in three women own individual life insurance policies, according to LIMRA's 'Life Insurance Ownership in Focus, U.S. Personal Trends: 2016.' Women are also 80 percent more likely to be impoverished in retirement (National Institute on Retirement Security 2016). Companies like JennyLife are building financial products that help women and families gain equal access to tools promoting financial stability.
