## Overview

When Insurance is a benefits transition platform for employers managing workforce changes, operating primarily in the group benefits and health insurance market. The company's SaaS product addresses the financial and operational burden of COBRA continuation coverage by routing departing employees toward ACA marketplace plans and other private health coverage alternatives.

The platform combines an AI-driven benefits marketplace with licensed concierge advisors who guide employees through health coverage decisions during involuntary exits, voluntary departures, retirement, and other transition scenarios. Employer-side integrations with major HRIS systems allow benefits teams to embed the service into existing offboarding workflows. The Health Severance Benefit feature lets employers redirect severance dollars into a defined health budget that employees can apply toward new coverage, reducing ongoing COBRA liability.

Founded in 2020, the company has grown to serve more than 6,200 employer clients. When Insurance has raised USD 15.2M across a seed round and a Series A, with backing from investors including ManchesterStory, 7wire Ventures, TTV Capital, and B Capital. Recent milestones include a board appointment and continued hiring activity consistent with its growth stage.
