Ethos Files for US Nasdaq IPO, Plans Public Offering

Ethos Technologies, a San Francisco-based life insurance technology company, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "LIFE." The company, which offers life insurance products through an online platform without requiring medical exams, reported significant revenue growth and net income increase in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan are serving as lead underwriters, with several other financial institutions acting as co-managers for the IPO. Ethos aims to leverage technology, including AI and machine learning, to democratize access to life insurance and improve operational efficiencies across various sectors such as healthcare. The IPO filing reflects a growing trend of insurtech companies entering public markets, highlighting investor interest in technology-driven insurance solutions. However, the number of shares and price range for the offering have yet to be determined, and sales cannot proceed until the SEC registration becomes effective.
