About Us

We are a highly profitable, fast-growing healthcare startup—a small and mighty team of 230 helping people find and enroll in individual health coverage. To date, we’ve helped over 20 million people enroll in health coverage. We're a mission-driven team that advocates for and cares deeply about the people we serve.

We believe in creating inclusive and equitable spaces that build trust and respect and foster a sense of belonging. These values are at the core of our culture and will continue to lead our organization to successful outcomes.
