Modern Life Raises $20M to Cut Life Insurance Policy Cycle Times from Six Months to Minutes

while 90% of policies are sold through financial advisors, these professionals navigate a fragmented ecosystem of over 10 disconnected legacy tools, each handling separate aspects of quoting, underwriting, and case management. This operational complexity translates into a six-month average policy cycle time for permanent life insurance, creating friction at every stage of the client journey and limiting advisors' capacity to serve their clients effectively. Modern Life addresses this systemic inefficiency by consolidating the entire life insurance workflow into a single AI-powered platform that enables advisors to instantly quote across 30+ carriers, receive underwriting decisions in minutes rather than weeks through its Express Decision capability.
