About us

We help people find, enroll in, and use ACA (a.k.a. Obamacare) health coverage. We've helped over 9 million people enroll, saving over $60 billion through government subsidies in the process. We've doubled enrollments and revenue each year for the past 3 years, and we are now the largest ACA enrollment platform after HealthCare.gov. We're profitable and on track to make mid-eight figure revenue for 2022.

We're a mission-driven team that advocates for and cares about the people we serve. We are a double bottom-line company - revenues and enrollments in ACA coverage. The ACA brings high-quality, comprehensive, and affordable health coverage within reach for low-income Americans. And we exist to make that promise a reality. Your contribution will positively affect millions of people, helping them to navigate the complex and confusing health insurance industry and to access health care when they need it.

We are committed to building a team balanced in representation to best serve the people who use our products. 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.
