Gondola Insurtech
Gondola is a platform that will revolutionize money management by using a SafeTank. The Gondola SafeTank is a simple, straightforward tool that allows retail investors to keep their existing lifestyle while minimizing losses, increasing liquidity, ultimately gaining more use and control of more of their money. SafeTank is painless (funded with monthly cashflow or repositioning of assets), guaranteed (because it is usually a permanent life insurance policy, SafeTank grows at regular established intervals), tax free (via tax free loans against the policy), liquid (frictionless flow of capital to take advantage of market opportunities). Wealthy families with pricey advisors have leveraged similar techniques for decades but Gondola, though our end-to-end virtual system and highly qualified licensed agents, will, for the first time, bring this advanced strategy to 12 millions US households (money maximizers). Through a combination of educational AI-avatars and video conference calls with licensed agents, Gondola will customize and sell SafeTanks and provide service to millions of people. Gondola makes money selling policies to retail consumers and by selling data to the insurance industry. Gondola is a privately held company, so if you wish to ride our Gondola, start by purchasing a Gondola SafeTank.
