History

Ethos was founded in 2016 by Peter Colis and Lingke Wang.[3][1] The company's strategy was to simplify the process of buying life insurance, including eliminating medical exams.[3]

In July 2021, the company was valued at $2.7 billion after a $100 million investment from Japanese investment holding company Softbank.[4]

In September 2025, Ethos filed for an IPO.[5] On January 29, 2026, it went public on the Nasdaq with a $1.2 billion valuation.[6]

Products

Ethos develops machine learning and data science technology to help customers buy life insurance policies online.[4][2] The company is not itself an insurer, but develops a platform and underwriting engine designed to streamline the buying, selling and risk management of life insurance.[1][4][6]
