About Us
Elisa for Life is an insurtech startup modernizing how permanent life insurance is sold. For 100+ years, the industry has relied on cold calls and door-to-door sales. That doesn’t work for today’s digital-first consumer.
Our product, ELISA is a digital advisor that embeds on life insurance agents’ websites, giving consumers a seamless, self-directed buying experience while generating high-quality leads for our agents 24/7. Our founding team helped pioneer this experience direct to consumer, now, with Elisa for Life, we are bringing this to the B2B2C space. V1 of the product is done and first clients are live. We’re ready to grow.
