Modern health insurance for dual income families

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a product that allows companies to pay the out-of-pocket costs for employees who enroll in their spouse's health insurance. This covers the family's health expenses fully and saves each family thousands of dollars, turning an expensive problem into a valuable employee benefit.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Columbus, OH. After YC, we'd continue to be based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Columbus has a strong talent pool and a growing tech community, which fits our team size and operational needs. We don't need to relocate to a traditional tech hub to serve customers nationwide.
