Who is Bestow?

Bestow offers term life insurance, digitized end to end.

What was the challenge?

Partnerships were being run by one of Bestow's co-founders. The channel needed a dedicated function to scale.

What did FGV do?

We built the channel from there: sourcing, commercials, product input, and the hires to own it, across affiliates, marketplaces and fully embedded deals.

  • Partner sourcing
  • Commercial negotiation
  • Product input for embedded deals
  • Hiring the team to own the channel

What were the results?

Partnerships grew to 50% of Bestow's new policy originations, with more than 50 active partners including Experian, Chime, NerdWallet and Forbes. FGV sourced and closed a white-labeled integration with Lemonade, one of the largest in the industry.
