        Announcing HealthJoy’s $3 Million Series A Funding Round

        We’re very excited to announce that HealthJoy has closed a $3 Million Series A round of funding in partnership with investors that have both a track record of fostering success at innovative companies and a shared vision of intuitive, transparent healthcare experiences.

        Updated 2020: Read about our latest $30 Million Series C funding round here!

        The round is led by Chicago Ventures, with participation from Social Capital, Sidekick Fund, and our seed-round lead GoHealth. Angel investments from leaders in technology and health innovation including Andrew Sieja, CEO of KCura; Brad Hoover, CEO of Grammarly, Ben Evans, CEO of OurHealth, Eduardo Vivas, Founder of Bright.com, and Jason Theofilis, CEO of MUNDOMedia also joined this round.

        Our new partner Stuart Larkins, Partner at Chicago Ventures said of the partnership, “HealthJoy boasts a powerful combination of a world class team and groundbreaking technology with a proven approach to employee engagement, and unmatched cost containment results. They are in a unique position to impact a huge market with well-defined pain points, and we are excited to help fuel their growth.”

        We’ve come a long way since our beginnings in the individual health insurance market nearly 4 years ago. We enrolled for over 50,000 members, learned a lot from our customers, and turned those insights into product iterations that have informed the platform that HealthJoy has become today. After successfully proving our engagement strategy and ability to contain costs for tens of thousands of individuals, HealthJoy entered the employee benefits market in 2016, distributing the platform to HR teams across the country through benefit advisors, third-party administrators, and health plans to help employers address the costs and complexity of health benefits.

        Nearly 156 Million Americans have access to the healthcare system through employer-sponsored plans. As healthcare costs continue to rise, employees face higher deductibles and reduced coverage, increasing the need for trusted guidance and tools that help employees and their families understand their benefits packages, navigate the healthcare system, and manage costs. Our mission is to transform the healthcare experience for employees and their families through technology, expert advice, and partnerships with industry-leading services and advisors.
