About Venteur
At Venteur, we’re rebuilding health insurance from the ground up—making it more affordable, portable, and human-centered. We partner with employers to move beyond one-size-fits-all group plans, giving employees tax-free dollars to choose the health coverage that works best for them. Behind the scenes, our proprietary AI simplifies the experience by scanning hundreds of plan options and helping each person confidently choose the right one.
The results speak for themselves: 20–30% savings for employers, reduced out-of-pocket costs for employees, and better healthcare decisions across the board. Think of us as the platform that makes personalized health insurance not only possible, but scalable.
And we’re just getting started.
We're a Series A startup backed by $30M in funding and growing fast—with offices in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and NYC, a team of ~60, and $10M in revenue (on pace for $30M by year-end). We’ve got the energy of a startup and the runway of a company built to last.
