It’s a hard reality in South Africa, and many other emerging economies, that when a breadwinner dies, his or her dependents are often consigned to poverty. Recognizing the dire need for easy-to-understand, affordable life insurance for the mass market – in South Africa and elsewhere – Simply was founded by three partners who had all reached crossroads in their careers and wanted to use what they had learned to do something positive and meaningful.
Simply was founded in 2015 by three partners: Anthony Miller, an engineer with an MBA and a successful track record as an entrepreneur; Simon Nicholson, an actuary with extensive life insurance experience in South Africa, Asia and Europe; and Shaun Dippnall, an actuary who had left the world of life insurance to start up an education technology business.

What is life insurance and why is it important? Life insurance plays a crucial role in ensuring the financial well-being of those who depend on your income to meet their basic needs.
