About us

We are a very profitable and fast growing healthcare startup -- a small and mighty team of 140 helping people find, enroll in and use ACA health coverage. We've doubled in each of the past two years and are now the largest ACA enrollment platform after Healthcare.gov, having helped over 9 Million people enroll in health coverage. We're a mission-driven team who advocate for and care deeply about the people we serve.

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