We started Ladder because we fundamentally believe life insurance is good—for people and communities. But at some point, it was hijacked by high pressure sales tactics, expensive products, and slow processes.
It’s time for better life insurance. Ladder gives you an instant, simple, smart way to take care of your people, while saving you time, money, and (lots of) hassle.
