Independent by design.
Lanternway was founded in 2014 on a simple idea: people make better decisions about life insurance when they can see every option clearly.
Why we started
Our founder spent nine years at a captive carrier, selling one company’s products. Too often, the policy that was best for the client wasn’t on the menu.
Today we work with fourteen carriers, train every advisor on both term and permanent products, and never earn a bonus for selling one type over another.
- Licensed in 31 states
- 2,300+ families and 180 businesses served
- Every client gets a yearly policy review
