Dental Insurance API

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

We built an API that automates dental insurance verifications and claim submissions across over 200 carriers. Our product plugs into dental offices' software so they can instantly check benefits and submit claims without manual phone calls or paperwork.

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

We live in San Francisco and remote locations; after YC we'll be based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the right place for healthcare IT startups and connects us to investors, early customers, and talent. Being remote has helped us recruit diverse team members so far, but having YC's local network is key.
