Company
HealthSherpa
Private sector Healthcare.gov.
We built HealthSherpa to simplify health insurance enrollment by providing a private sector alternative to Healthcare.gov. Our product helps consumers compare, apply for, and manage Affordable Care Act health plans more easily. It integrates real-time data from government sources and streamlines the complex application process.
We live in Sacramento, CA, and the company is based there, though we operate with a remote team.
We are based in Sacramento because that's where our founding team is located and where we've built our initial traction. We also embrace remote work to attract talent beyond Silicon Valley.
