Overview

Hyke is a benefits decision-support platform for employers and employees, serving the health, group benefits, life, and P&C insurance markets. The platform was formed in August 2023 through an all-stock merger of MyHealthMath (a US-based health benefits decision tool) and Sherpa (a UK-based life and P&C insurance decision platform), combining complementary capabilities into a single global solution. The legal entity is Insurance Decisions Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Portland, Maine.

The platform delivers personalized plan recommendations during open enrollment, continuous year-round support, and a proprietary Protection Score that models each employee's insurance needs based on demographics and coverage gaps. Hyke integrates into employer benefit workflows with minimal setup, offering a guided five-minute experience that employees can access at any time. The platform operates as SaaS and is distributed through carrier and broker partnerships.

Hyke has raised USD 7.01M in seed-stage funding from investors including Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Jennus Innovation, M Venture Partners, Maine Technology Institute, and NeoNet Capital. In February 2026, the company received a strategic investment from Aviva and follow-on funding from Unum, both longstanding distribution partners. Partners report that 86% of employees rate Hyke as a positive enrollment experience.
