BRINGING LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES CLOSER TO THE LIVES you PROTECT.

LAVVI Leadership Team 2024

Hi, we’re Lavvi.

WERESOFTWARE ASSERVICE (SAAS) COMPANY WITH DEEP EXPERTISE IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.

We help life insurance companies become easier to do business with, whether:

  • Discovering alternative distribution channels (including direct-to-consumer, embedded insurance, and voluntary benefits. 
  • Improving the performance of your traditional advisor salesforce using automation.


Our Calling

Lavvi is an InsurTech driven by purpose – to connect families with financial security.

Life’s unexpected challenges can strike without warning, leaving families vulnerable and in dire need of support. We dream of a future where no one would ever have to witness another heart-wrenching crowd-sourced fundraising campaign for a funeral or family members left behind without financial support. 

Our vision is a world where there is financial security for all, and our mission is to deliver software that amplifies life insurer’s reach across North America.

Partner with distribution experts who understand your business.

We know the insurance industry is complex and evolving. Work with a partner who understands your unique business challenges and can share the best practices that get you to market faster. 

With over 15 years’ experience selling insurance online, we combine our tech knowledge with proven experience navigating complex industry regulations to generate more revenue for you. 



We’ve had a longstanding successful partnership with Lavvi for nearly a decade, built on trust and digital distribution expertise. Allowing the Lavvi team to lead the build of our digital distribution platforms for both our distribution partners direct-to-consumer solutions and advisor sales distribution strategies has allowed our internal teams to refocus on our backend systems and processing. Lavvi’s API-driven platform has helped us get to market faster, and the flexibility of the platform has also made us easier for other insurers or agents to partner with. Meanwhile, we’ve seen a 231% increase in online sales year over year via our distribution partners direct-to-consumer solutions and that number is still rising!
