Topeka, KS – September 29, 2025 – Everly, a modern life insurance company dedicated to making protection radically more human, and Zinnia, a leading life and annuity technology company, today announced that they have jointly received the prestigious Datos Impact Award in Insurance Technology in the Digital category. Datos Insights' annual Impact Awards program recognizes innovations leading the industry and pioneering new and disruptive financial services products and capabilities.
The award recognizes organizations that leverage technology to meaningfully improve customer outcomes.
