达拉斯，2025年5月13日——领先的保险技术公司Bestow Inc.今天宣布完成了1.2亿美元的超额认购D轮融资，包括初级和次级投资。本轮融资由高盛另类投资的成长型股权和Smith Point Capital共同领投。除了股权融资外，Bestow还从TriplePoint Capital获得了5000万美元的信贷额度。

The capital will fund the development of new products and services and help accelerate the expansion of Bestow's platform in the life and annuities space. Bestow plans to increase its workforce to meet growing enterprise demand.

这笔资金将用于开发新产品和服务，并帮助加速Bestow在人寿和年金领域的平台扩展。Bestow计划增加员工人数，以满足不断增长的企业需求。

'This investment strengthens Bestow's position as the preferred partner for life insurance and annuity providers seeking to modernize and scale,' said Melbourne O'Banion, CEO and Co-founder of Bestow. 'We are accelerating product innovation to help the industry stay ahead of market trends, unlock new opportunities, and build lasting competitive advantages through technology.

“这项投资巩固了Bestow作为人寿保险和年金提供商的首选合作伙伴地位，帮助它们实现现代化和规模化，”Bestow首席执行官兼联合创始人墨尔本·奥班尼恩表示。“我们正在加速产品创新，以帮助行业领先于市场趋势，挖掘新机遇，并通过技术建立持久的竞争优势。"

We are excited to invest in Bestow as they continue to expand their capabilities and reimagine the future of insurance technology.'.

我们很高兴投资Bestow，因为他们不断扩展其能力，并重新构想保险技术的未来。

'The life insurance industry has remained virtually untouched by innovation for three decades,' said Keith Block, Founder and CEO of Smith Point Capital. 'Bestow isn't just offering another tech tool—they're fundamentally transforming how insurers create and deliver products at the very core of their business operations.

“人寿保险行业在过去三十年里几乎未受到创新的影响，”Smith Point Capital创始人兼首席执行官Keith Block表示，“Bestow不仅仅提供了另一种技术工具——他们正在从根本上改变保险公司创造和交付产品的核心业务运作方式。”

Their impressive enterprise customer roster, unprecedented for such a young company in this traditionally risk-averse market, demonstrates that Bestow has identified a truly mission-critical opportunity. Smith Point Capital is incredibly proud to not only invest in Bestow to help them accelerate their growth, but also partner with them as they redefine the industry.'.

他们令人印象深刻的企业客户名单，对于一家如此年轻的公司在这个传统上规避风险的市场中来说是前所未有的，这表明Bestow已经发现了一个真正关键的任务机会。Smith Point Capital不仅投资于Bestow以帮助他们加速成长，还为能与他们合作重新定义行业而感到无比自豪。

This funding milestone follows Bestow's 2024 divestiture of Bestow Life Insurance Company, a direct-to-consumer life insurance carrier, to Sammons Financial Group, marking a strategic shift to focus exclusively on enterprises through its vertical software platform, purpose-built for the entire life insurance value chain..

这一融资里程碑是在Bestow于2024年将其直接面向消费者的寿险公司Bestow Life Insurance Company出售给Sammons Financial Group之后达成的，标志着其战略转向专注于通过其专为整个寿险价值链打造的垂直软件平台服务企业客户。

Today, Bestow partners with industry leaders, including Nationwide, Transamerica, USAA, Sammons Financial Groups, among others, and will be announcing additional partners in the coming months. The company continues to boast a 100% customer retention rate and has achieved a 245% year-over-year increase in transaction volume.

如今，Bestow与包括 Nationwide、Transamerica、USAA、Sammons Financial Groups 等行业领导者合作，并将在未来几个月宣布更多的合作伙伴。该公司持续保持100%的客户保留率，并实现了交易量同比增长245%。

The Series D round caps a period of strong growth for Bestow, and the company expects this growth to continue exponentially..

D轮融资为Bestow的强劲增长期画上了句号，该公司预计这种增长将继续呈指数级增长。
