(i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)", "answer": "Josh, Eddie, and I actually met completely by chance. I moved to the US for the Electrical Engineering PhD program at Stanford and just a couple of months in, I got paired up together with Josh through Stanford’s alumni mentorship program. Josh and Eddie went to Stanford EE together a few years earlier, but got reconnected after randomly when Eddie made a wild decision to run a half-marathon – with zero training – just to win a bet (!). Josh, Eddie and I bonded over our experiences growing up around small businesses, and starting past startups on our own. My dad has owned a small clothing store in Haifa for over 30 years now and I grew up helping in the store after school every day, and experiencing the small business ups and downs around the family dinner table every evening. Eddie had a similar experience with his family’s medical practice in Southern California. Finally, Josh, Eddie and I had started our own startups previously (none as successful as Gusto), and realized that our passion is solving real problems for real people and having a long-term positive impact through technology.We loved the idea of helping small businesses – the underdogs – thrive and succeed, and hated the fact that only “big enterprise” companies use technology internally for their advantage. It wasn’t fair and we wanted to fix it. What sparked the original idea behind Gusto was Eddie growing up and seeing his mom manage payroll for their medical practice. She had been doing every payroll by hand for over two decades. It was time-consuming, tough, and error-prone, with the practice paying as much as $200,000 in tax penalties over the years, up until we launched Gusto. One of the most rewarding parts of our journey was seeing her finally running payroll without having to physically be in the office – freeing her up to go on vacation while still being able to run payroll if she needed to. We realized that if we do a great job with payroll, we’ll have the most accurate system of record for our customers’ employees, which then will enable us to solve many more important problems like onboarding, time tracking, benefits, compliance, HR, and more. We’ve since kept on this vision and have built Gusto’s People Platform which helps over 300,000 businesses across the country start and grow their teams while building a great place to work – from the moment they’re hired, until their last day. We still feel like we’re in the super early stages of the company as our vision is much broader – to create a world where work creates a better life." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "We first decided to apply to YC based on Eddie’s recommendation. He had had a great experience with YC as part of a previous startup he founded, Picwing. We knew that the YC association could help us hire strong engineers, have a supportive community of founders we get inspired by, and gain early momentum. Being part of a YC batch was a high intensity experience. We lived together and worked 24/7 to build a Minimal Loveable Product and earn the trust of some early customers, all before Demo Day. Demo Day is a fantastic opportunity to meet hundreds of serious investors interested in funding companies. It’s up to you to give them a reason to fund you – but if you take advantage of that moment, it can really be a gamechanger for your startup.Overall, YC was a big part of Gusto’s early growth. It has a strong community of technical leaders and operators, so it helped us hire engineers faster and grow more quickly during Gusto’s early days. But not only is YC a great way to attract top talent – it also connects you to a community of similar-minded founders and helps you build long-term, lasting friendships. " } ], "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gusto", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2012/gusto.json", "year_founded": 2011, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/gustohq/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/GustoHQ", "fb_url": "https://www.facebook.com/GustoHQ/", "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gusto", "github_url": "https://github.com/Gusto", "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6ce7845c2e268525f5f04915212ac0a106fb7e3d.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [ "https://bookface-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/17702f753046e23197ac3c92291b35126b8cf5e3.png" ], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 30116, "full_name": "Josh Reeves", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "We're on a multi-decade mission at Gusto to create a world where work empowers a better life.

Their combined expertise in data science consulting, app development, and advanced financial analytics has been pivotal in delivering timely and relevant insights.\n\n**The problem - Too many spreadsheets, data sources, and an overload of tasks**\n\nManagers spend 70% of their time on routine tasks, leaving little room for strategic decision-making.\n\nSometimes, understanding the organization's financial streams requires handling complex spreadsheets or enduring long waits for reports, slowing down the decision-making process. Data is scattered across various platforms and formats, making it difficult to access and analyze. This results in delays and inefficiencies, with data analysts spending most of their time cleaning and organizing data rather than providing timely insights.\n\nAs a result, valuable time and energy are wasted, diverting attention away from critical strategic goals. How can we streamline these processes and empower managers and knowledge workers to make quicker, more informed decisions?\n\n**Datrics - The only digital analyst you need to get your questions answered quickly.**\n\nThat's where Datrics steps in. An AI virtual analyst as the new team member with data analytics expertise who's always ready to help. Our solution is here to change how businesses interact with data questions and tasks.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79775&key=user_uploads/355612/85f92382-6213-4417-8708-b7bb07d1b74c)\n\n**Another Data Analytics platform?**\n\nDatrics Digital Co worker differentiates itself from Microsoft Copilot and other low-code platforms by addressing specific enterprise needs in sales and finance. Unlike Copilot, our platform enables CFOs to access tailored data insights through natural language queries, like comparing loan performance, without requiring direct database access. With a proprietary low-code workflow manager, Datrics empowers analysts to automate processes, enhancing productivity for enterprises with limited database access and automated workflows.\n\n**Why do enterprises' finance, sales, and operations teams choose Datrics AI Analyst?**\n\nIt allows managers to make faster decisions in finance, sales, and operations by asking questions using natural language and instantly uncovering insights. It visualizes data, discovers growth areas, and pinpoints weaknesses — all in one intuitive platform. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to actionable business decisions.\n\n### **Instantly understand your data and give insights at superhuman speed.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=79775&key=user_uploads/355612/688addcc-c4dc-4779-b71e-c84f6d76ea2d)\n\n* **Obtain Visualization and reports.**\n* **Get Forecasts and predictions.**\n* **Use a conversational interface.**\n* **Obtain a .csv file or send the information directly to your email.**\n\n### **It's like a Data Analyst in your team 24/7**\n\nWith Datrics AI digital analyst, you can simply create tasks, ask questions in natural language, and get answers instantly.

We use LLMs to analyze long (70+ page), messy medical records and determine if a patient is eligible for a treatment.\n\n### **What is Prior Authorization?**\n\nPrior Authorization is a process where physicians must obtain approval from a patient’s health insurance plan before a specific treatment or medication is delivered. This process can take an **average of 2-14 days, with some cases taking upwards of 15-31 days**. This prevents patients from receiving necessary treatments in a timely manner. The entire healthcare industry is also projected to **spend $36 billion each year** in administrative costs for this process. \n\n**This process for health insurance is still manual and inefficient:**\n\n1. Patient documents sent to health insurance are a mess and can be a **70-100+ page fax.**\n2. Health insurance companies have to **allocate more headcount to try and manually check these documents** against their medical necessity criteria, costing them millions each year.\n\n### **How it works:**\n\nWe speed up the medical eligibility determination for health insurers. We ingest patient documents + criteria from health insurance plans and use LLMs to output an approval/denial decision with justification based on an evaluation of each sub-criteria. We also highlight the context within the medical document that informed the decision to allow for easy review.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70364&key=user_uploads/1096888/fceffbb3-e71a-4523-a0a9-df7c73f34c76)\n\n### **Our ask:**\n\nAre you in health insurance or do you know anyone in health insurance?

After Lyft, Chine went to Stripe where she worked on banking-as-a-service, corporate cards, and payment links.\n\n[Lindsey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-redd/) worked on developer infrastructure and observability at Lyft before leaving to work at Stripe where she worked on low-code/no-code payments on the checkout and payment links teams. \n\n## 😢 **Problem**\n\n* **Tasks that involve both engineering and ops/CX are disjointed and time consuming.** Engineers spend too much time writing and running one-off scripts (e.g. fixing an out-of-sync user account) and ops/CX are often blocked by engineering.\n* **Building internal tools (even with low-code/no-code saas) takes a lot of frontend work.** As a result, building the tool stays in the backlog and engineers & ops keep schlepping through tasks.\n\n## **🥳 Our solution**\n\nOnu is a developer-first tool that allows engineers to quickly turn their ops/CX-related scripts or workflows into production-ready internal tools without having to write any frontend code at all.\n\n* **Spin up internal tools quickly** using the scripts you’ve already written, spending **zero time on frontend development.**\n* **See logs of each task’s previous executions** to keep track of when it was run, who ran it, and the result\n* Run scripts in your own environment but **without having to SSH into production**\n* **Use built-in integrations** to easily add actions to your tasks like posting to Slack, sending an email, or generating a Linear issue\n\n**🤯 You can use Onu to…**\n\n* **Onboard** **new users** to your product and then send them a welcome **email** \n* **Cancel a subscription**, refund the customer, and then update your **CRM**\n* **Fix an out-of-sync user account** and then notify a **Slack** channel of the fix\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69549&key=user_uploads/838199/3c3d3105-f01e-46a2-b5ea-b38d019b23c9)\n\n## **🌱 Why we built Onu**\n\nWe experienced these problems firsthand while working on fast moving engineering teams at Lyft and Stripe. Our teams needed internal tooling, but we didn’t have time to build feature-rich admin dashboards. Stripe had a homegrown tool that allowed engineers to spin up internal tools without writing frontend code. When we started working on Onu with a different idea we immediately felt the pain of not having a similar tool. \n\n## **🙌🏾 Asks**\n\n* **Sign up** - Join our [waitlist](https://joinonu.com/?utm_source=yclaunch) for early access! We’ll reach out with sign up instructions.\n* **Intros** - Do you know an **engineer, customer experience/ops lead, or startup founder** struggling to manage the workload between ops and engineering? We’d love an introduction. Shoot us an email at [founders@joinonu.com](mailto:founders@joinonu.com) or DM Lindsey on Twitter [@reddyourmind](https://twitter.com/reddyourmind?s=20) if you have someone in mind.\n\n _\\*forwardable blurb:_ [Lindsey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-redd/), and [Chine](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chineikoro/), a team of ex-Stripe software engineers, are building a developer tool called [Onu (YC W23)](https://joinonu.com/?utm_source=yclaunch) to turn scripts and workflows executed for ops and CX teams into internal tools, zero frontend work required. If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to email them at [founders@joinonu.com](mailto:founders@joinonu.com).\n\n \n\n## **⚒️ Offer**\n\n* If you have any manual or repetitive tasks or scripts, we will migrate them onto Onu for you. You'll have a production-ready internal tool with minimal work.\n* We’ll prioritize the integrations (e.g. Linear, Discord, email) you need in order to make Onu a powerful addition to your toolkit.\n\n ", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/I5l-onu-turn-scripts-into-internal-tools-without-doing-any-frontend-work", "votes": 158, "created_at": "2023-02-22T17:25:02.950Z" } ] }, { "id": 28799, "name": "Remy", "slug": "remy", "former_names": [ "Remy Security" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/93b0f6a6d9697c73c56e4ffd40933940d124fb99.png", "website": "https://www.startremy.com/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Remy automates insurance-related tasks for practices, starting with phone calls to verify patient benefits and check on claims.", "one_liner": "Making it simpler for medical clinics to work with insurance", "team_size": 4, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Healthcare Services", "launched_at": 1687066070, "tags": [ "Generative AI", "Health Insurance", "Operations", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2023", "status": "Inactive", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Healthcare Services" ], "regions": [ "United States of America", "America / Canada" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/remy", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/summer-2023/remy.json", "year_founded": 2023, "city": "San Francisco", "country": "US", "linkedin_url": "https://linkedin.com/company/remysec", "x_url": "", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/remy-security", "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/93b0f6a6d9697c73c56e4ffd40933940d124fb99.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": { "name": "Tom Blomfield", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/people/tom-blomfield" }, "founders": [ { "user_id": 1306652, "full_name": "Sten Sjöberg", "title": "Founder", "founder_bio": "I'm co-founder and CEO at Remy Security.

We’re [Sten](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stensjoberg/) and [Kevin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/minhwan/), founders of [Remy Security](https://www.remysec.com).\n\n**Remy helps security teams conduct security design reviews more quickly and effectively.** Using LLMs to analyze the design documents, Remy generates targeted insights and questions to raise to the authors.\n\n### Problem\n\nSecurity design reviews are essential during the software development cycle as they mitigate risks before they become problems down the line. It’s more expensive to address breaches than it is to look for potential weaknesses at design time.\n\n**It’s difficult and expensive to review designs.** The types of threats that the reviewer must consider are endless, and it’s easy to miss key risk areas even for experts. Security team and engineering team members must meet in order to discuss the design’s context and the risks that need to be addressed. Such meetings are expensive, time-consuming, and often disorganized.\n\n**Security teams are understaffed.** A 1:60 ratio is common for headcount between security and engineering staff. With such a skew, security teams often struggle to keep up with requests, forcing them to skip reviews or delay the development lifecycle.\n\n### Solution\n\nRemy finds designs that the security team should be aware of and makes a first pass at reviewing them using LLMs. It hands off its assessment to members of the security team, who make the final judgements on what questions/comments need to be raised in the document.\n\nUsers can view a list of designs to review, view their risk levels, and prioritize the most important ones to work on.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72542&key=user_uploads/1360703/5de6450e-ab7f-4fab-ae7f-8c1e9816da45)\n\nFor each document, Remy generates questions and feedback for you to send to the authors. Leveraging LLMs, Remy provides targeted insights into the specific risks of each design.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72542&key=user_uploads/1360703/767b3d20-1fb2-4a06-84e0-8c60a0f7aeac)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72542&key=user_uploads/1360703/d13cf468-9a97-446b-83e3-8d3aa3a4a254)\n\n### Asks\n\n* Do you work with security reviews?

Some of them outsource it to a billing agency which charges them anywhere from 2% to _10% of total revenue_. (that’s crazy!)\n\nThat on its own is expensive, but there’s also another problem: Since processing bills is expensive, up to **30%** of all claim revenue is denied by health insurance companies, and no follow up is made by the biller to fight it.\n\n**The Solution**\n\nDoctors in the US right now are being charged up to 10% on their bottom line and losing up to 30% of their top line revenue.\n\nWell, we’ve figured out how to fix this problem, by making it a lot cheaper to do billing. We’ve figured out how to do it (nearly) all with AI. We have a team of human billers to do manual checks, but they can process orders of magnitude more claims than a biller doing it manually (which is all of them right now).\n\nThis means we can not only charge lower fees, but also we have more bandwidth to fight that 30% denial rate! So we typically end up making doctors more money.\n\nWe’ve got decades of billing experience on our team, and are already deployed with clinics and hospitals in the US processing millions of dollars in annual claim revenue.\n\n**Offer for Doctors**\n\nIf you or somebody you know is a doctor, we can help them make up to 30% more money every year!\n\nWe have a limited offer for the next 10 clinics/hospitals we bring on: **We’ll do your billing as a white-glove service for a flat 1.8% fee (+ no onboarding fee)**.

We are making health insurance cheaper by building a new tech stack that reduces the cost of insurance operations by 43%. In 6 months since launch, we have $2.1M in gross premiums and growing 100% month-on-month. Check out [Eden Care](https://www.edencaremedical.com/) today.\\\n—\n\nHello, I am Moses Mukundi, and my team and I are building [Eden Care](https://www.edencaremedical.com/). We are on a mission to provide access to affordable quality health insurance to the 90 million uninsured African employees. See some of our team below:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72392&key=user_uploads/584359/6d025c95-c4e5-41e1-9052-b7f58978a690)\n\n**Problem: Underserved**\n\nAfrican insurance cost of operation (claims, distribution, and fraud cost) is 2.2x the global average resulting in expensive insurance. No wonder, health insurance penetration in Africa is 0.2%, 15x lower than emerging market peers. \n\nThis $11 billion industry hasn’t modernized (manual, limited customer insights, and high fraud waste and abuse) and has largely focussed on large companies and high network individuals, leaving out the majority of Africans. There’s a need for a new solution for Africans to increase health insurance uptake.\n\n**Our Solution: Digital infrastructure that automates the entire value chain**\n\nEden Care is a full-stack licensed health insurer. We are building a new tech that reduces our cost operation by 43% resulting in cheaper cover. \n\nWe have deployed tech infrastructure across 3 main users - HR& admin teams, employees, and healthcare facilities. This enables us to automate the majority of our processes reducing cost but also improving customer experience. \n\n**For HR teams**, we provide them with a portal to easily manage the health benefits of their team.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72392&key=user_uploads/584359/17e2bd51-fcc1-4ad0-8dff-946759a190b3)\n\n**For employees and their dependents**, we provide them with an app that helps them access and navigate healthcare, participate in Eden Care’s wellness and prevention program, and earn/redeem rewards.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72392&key=user_uploads/584359/3aa361ff-2a28-440f-b060-660a4cc70ebd)\n\n**For service providers**, we have provided an end-to-end digital tool that enables them to quickly serve our members and digitally complete all their processes on our system — eliminating the majority of manual processes and paper, automating the majority of the tasks, and saving time and money.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72392&key=user_uploads/584359/6a47735f-0923-4997-8c72-081a79109571)\n\nWith this data-rich view, we can:\n\n1. automate >90% of all back-end insurance processes enabling us to deliver real-time decision-making and personalized health nudges\n2. intervene at the point of service to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse \n3. deliver better underwriting and products more relevant to user needs.\n4. Develop AI tools to improve stakeholder experience while lowering ops cost even further\n\n**The opportunity: Right time to build Eden Care**\n\n1. 22 Africans will transition to middle-income status by 2030. This transition is associated with a 7x growth in health insurance spend.\n2. SMEs are formalising at a faster rate and buying insurance for their teams for the first time. This is the largest insurance opportunity in Africa and is where Eden Care is positioning itself to be the segment leader. \n3. Rapid digitisation of healthcare facilities and end users is for the first time enabling the deployment of end-to-end digital health infrastructure. \n4. 310 million Africans will be middle class by 2030. The majority are young digital native families buying insurance for the first time. Eden Care is becoming the default insurer for this group.\n\n**Ask: How you can help us**\n\n1. Share this post!

Today, health insurance brokers spend an average of **11 hours a week on manual data entry**. Blume helps brokers manage quotes, renewals, and revenue ops all in one place without having to manually enter a single keystroke of data.\n\n**The Problem ❌**\n\nObtaining health insurance is such a complex task that a $104 billion-dollar industry exists to help employers navigate the buying, negotiating, and administering of health insurance for their employees.\n\nHealth insurance brokers, the stewards of these transactions, have to manage thousands of complex relationships every year. From negotiating commissions and quotes with insurance carriers to managing contract renewals and compliance for their clients, health insurance brokers find themselves using a fragmented set of programs to store and manage all of this information. Constantly, data and reminders fall through the cracks resulting in **thousands of dollars in lost commissions**, botched renewals, and an artificially capped book of business.\n\n**The Solution ✨**\n\nBlume was created to streamline the relationships that brokers have to manage with their clients and the insurance carriers they work with. On Blume, brokers can:\n\n* Turn unstructured quotes into presentable and understandable formats for their clients.\n* Automate insurance carrier commission statement reconciliation and revenue recovery.\n* Consolidate information about their customers to prioritize their work, ensure no clients are left underserved, and catch problems with plan designs before employees run into them in the clinic.\n\nBy consolidating all of these tools, we are building toward a world where health insurance brokers spend all of their time helping their clients navigate the complex world of health insurance rather than manually keying in data to Excel, spending hours every week consolidating claims data into actionable insights.\n\n**Why we built Blume 💼**\n\nOver the last few months, we had the opportunity to speak with more than 150 health insurance brokers. One thing was clear, they all were frustrated with the decreasing amount of time they could spend helping their clients due to the growing administrative burden and knew that something had to change. When we set out to find existing solutions to their problems, we saw user interfaces that hadn’t changed in years, manual workflows that increased reporting responsibilities for brokers, and software built to be sold to agency executives, not to be used by individual brokers. We are excited to address these issues with Blume.\n\n**Our ask 👋**\n\nWe’re looking to connect with health insurance brokers looking to grow their book of business.

By 2030, the number of Medicare beneficiaries is projected to reach 80 million. \n\n### **How does Understood Care work?**\n\n1️⃣ Patient signs up on website or by calling in.\n\n2️⃣ We check the patient’s insurance eligibility and complete a patient intake with our clinical team.\n\n3️⃣ We get the patient matched with the advocate that best fits their needs.\n\n4️⃣ The advocate uses Understood Care’s clinical expertise and AI tools to resolve each patient’s unique care needs.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeu763mRuapSrYOVLGo_5FCjlG0c_9dUyncnOXfW1wNKvcmZr9Y51pfCvcFMcNAfe12p3dyfLAXTWQH9PkJ-IHExh3SWaC7KPoplpAYsE_YRTVWE2TUkHG3YlUAMB0vLHLO7YptTw?key=MP2f1P5qm-uzbzkuGXiGIg)\n\nExamples of problems we’ve helped patients tackle:\n\n⚠️ **Problem:** Patient could no longer drive to his appointments.\n\n✅ **Solution:** We set the patient up with free county medical transportation. \n\n⚠️ **Problem:** The patient did not have money to afford proper food.\n\n✅ **Solution:** We signed the patient up for a program that delivers free nutritious meals to low income seniors. \n\n⚠️ **Problem:** Patient received a new diagnosis and was overwhelmed.\n\n✅ **Solution:** We helped the patient go over the doctor’s instructions and scheduled appointments with in network specialists.\n\n### **Milestones**\n\n⭐ We helped our first patient in April and are currently supporting 300+ patients.\n\n⭐ Active in 40 states.\n\n⭐ Able to accept Medicare, UHC, Humana and Aetna (top 3 Medicare Advantage plans).\n\n### **Team**\n\nUnderstood Care is built by a team fluent in AI, healthcare operations, and clinical care. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=93210&key=user_uploads/1753723/e2f97acd-32f9-42d0-a5e0-5236e7ff6646)\n\n[Sam](https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthawu/) (CEO) was an operator at several high growth healthcare tech startups including Finni, SiteRx, and Cedar.

We ingest provider information and use AI to automate submissions, saving providers months of waiting.\n\n### ❌ The Problem\n\nBeing in network with a health insurer is critical for both patients and providers:\n\n* For patients, seeing in network providers means dramatically lower healthcare costs. This informs which providers they choose and whether they can even afford to visit one.\n* For providers, being in network means a bigger pool of potential patients. It also simplifies billing and reimbursement.\n\nHowever, the process of getting a provider in network is highly manual and fragmented. There are approximately **1,400** payers in the US, each with their own enrollment process. Some of these processes involve painstakingly filling out 50+ page forms.\n\nOn top of burning hours of administrator time, delays are costly. A single incorrect field can push back cases by months. With providers billing $3,000/week, this costs healthcare practices **tens of thousands of dollars per provider**.\n\n### ⭐ Our Solution\n\nWe provide standardized questionnaires to collect all required provider information and documents. Our customers are then able to request a new network enrollment in just a few clicks instead of spending hours navigating insurance websites to find the correct forms.\n\n![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcMXSY2xKtBcO4T1bMrr_zU44eg-Shd1X_9JaM3loR6QgKdsuVHkOByIopdf09h2mBDLkIN563IS6LnLwhLnwQrvpoJKiG3qxYI6sAyIFgs6VCP0o-Eq-Y4niQc9koDRqzATtjI71T-pZFVZCBWP1jRbrE?key=qI7khypm2_NJ8SwqwOuqbw)\n\nOn the backend, we’re automating each part of the enrollment process.

A 1,000-person company now faces over $1M in cost increases annually, compounding.\n\nEmployers’ only options are to cut benefits or redesign their entire plan. Both take months and frustrate employees.\n\nWhat if Employers could offset these costs by adding benefits instead?\n\n## **🤨 How is this possible?**\n\n**Price and quality have no correlation in healthcare:**\n\n* The same MRI: $700 at an imaging center vs $2,500 at a hospital. Same network. Same machine.\n* The same knee surgery: $7,000 at a surgery center vs $25,000 at a hospital. Same surgeon. Often better outcomes at the surgery center.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94971&key=user_uploads/1230817/7a7a2b27-4c82-410c-9744-82a5af6b1cc2)\n\n**So why does everyone end up with the expensive option?**\n\n1. **Hospitals own the referral pipeline.** They consolidated most primary care practices. When your doctor orders a procedure, their systems automatically directs it to their expensive facilities.\n2. **Shopping is impossible.** Prices are hidden, provider directors outdated, quality is opaque. And when you're sick, calling twelve clinics is the last thing you want to do.\n\n**Rovi does the hard work.** Our AI agents analyze terabytes of pricing data, research every provider's quality metrics, and surface options matching each person's preferences for cost, convenience, and availability. Making good healthcare decisions drives down costs for both the employee and the employer.\n\n# **🎯 Impact**\n\nWe save employers 10-20% on healthcare spend while improving care outcomes and delivering a health benefit that employees love.\n\nWe've already signed contracts to roll out to thousands of employees across multiple employers for the 2025-2026 plan year.\n\n## **🙏🏾 Our ask**\n\n1. **Employers:** We have two final Q1 spots for self-funded employers.

Prescience is taking on United, Blue Cross, and every other incumbent to build the first health insurance company that doesn’t suck.\n\n**TL;DR -** Prescience is a health insurance solution built for a world with AGI. We help cut premiums by 20%, offer $0 deductibles, include GLP-1s and other modern medicines, and have no hidden fees: we’re only paid when we save you money. We’re already helping some of America’s most ambitious companies save money, provide better benefits, and keep employees healthy so they can focus on their business. [www.getprescience.com](http://www.getprescience.com)\n\n[youtube.com/watch?v=PBqyj9zP4BY&feature=youtu.be](http://youtube.com/watch?v=PBqyj9zP4BY&feature=youtu.be)\n\n**The Problem**\n\nHealthcare is a $6 trillion industry in America. For most companies it's the second-highest line item on their P&L, with costs rising about 15% every single year.\n\nEmployers keep paying more and getting less. Deductibles climb and the best benefits get cut. Even employees with \"good\" insurance still end up with denied claims, surprise bills, and debt.\n\nNothing changes because the entire industry is built to take a cut of your premium. When care gets more expensive, all of the middlemen make more money. They couldn’t care less if your people get more healthy.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nPrescience is an AI-native health insurance that flips the incentive. Get a quote without speaking to middlemen, and get better health benefits at lower cost. That adds up to roughly **20% lower premiums**, and **better-than-platinum health benefits** like $0 deductibles, no middlemen, no fees. For YC companies, we have a Deal running with Free Wearables and GLP-1s covered.\n\nHere's how we deliver. **Time Machine** is our reinforcement learning system trained on medical histories. The same way AlphaGo found \"Move 37,\" a move no human would have played that turned out to be brilliant, Time Machine searches millions of possible health trajectories for each member and finds the non-obvious path that keeps them healthiest. Then it steers care toward that path: the right screening at the right moment, the right behavior, before a small issue ever becomes a hospital bill. We’re running a separate waitlist for YC companies who want to try Time Machine for personal use: \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106632&key=user_uploads/3202469/9ec81a8e-0484-4a24-873c-9aafa87d8124)\n\nTime Machine is paired with **Crystal**: our care navigation assistant in your pocket. As an MD, I’ve seen how patients struggle to manage the labyrinth of healthcare. Hours of phone calls and wait times. Pouring through confusion insurance documents. No more - Crystal can book visits for you, answer questions about your health, and pay your bills.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106632&key=user_uploads/3202469/6d96fb46-38d8-4b14-934d-c070c77b13b4)\n\nInstead of today’s health insurance experience that forces employers to talk to brokers for weeks just to get covered, employers on Prescience get a quote in days and a plan that automatically tracks savings and does filings. We don’t just sit around and collect money from premiums, but actually try to make your employees healthy.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=106632&key=user_uploads/3202469/869b2f99-6114-43c4-b8a3-4630545de430)\n\nWe are a real, full-stack solution. We’ve built out and partnered to deliver quotes, banking, HSA, MSO-PC, legal, compliance, network, risk, and any other solutions, We have a national team of top doctors who we negotiate with directly - no middlemen - and who we are able to offer fast payment, clear patient histories, and no admin paperwork. They in turn offer us heavy discounts we pass on to employers.\n\n**The Team**\n\nRishab and Aditya are brothers and serial entrepreneurs. Rishab (CEO) studied CS & Neuro at Harvard, is an RSI alumni, won the International Science and Engineering Fair, and previously founded and exited an edtech company. Aditya (President/COO) earned his MD from Harvard Medical School, has been doing ML research since 2014, and is an Op-Med Fellow at Doximity.\n\nPrescience aims to rebuild the entire $6T American healthcare industry into one that is proactive and prescient, not reactive.

I'm [Nick Soman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicksoman/), cofounder of [Decent](https://www.decent.com/) (F26) with [Andrew Budker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abudker/).\\\n\\\n\n\n\\\n**The problem**\\\nYou choose your company health plan once a year at renewal, and then nobody touches it for twelve months. All year long you overpay without seeing it. A one-time surgery gets built into next year's rates as if it’s recurring. You get billed for employees who left months ago. Your team uses the ER for things that primary care could have handled for a fraction of the cost.\\\n\\\nI learned this the hard way. A carrier raised my old company's rates 27% in January because an employee had started an expensive treatment the February before. They told me it was my data and my fault for not looking. Almost all of that cost was waste. She could have been treated at home for 30% less. An equally effective treatment that cost 25% less could have been free to her. Optimized dosing could have saved 20% more, with fewer side effects and no negative impact on her health.\\\n\\\n**How Decent is different**\\\nYour health plan should get better all year, not once a year. You don't buy a year of ads or a rack of servers up front anymore, but health insurance is stuck on a single annual renewal. Decent is an AI-native health insurance broker for US companies with 2 to 200 employees. We compare every way to cover your team, show what each one costs, and then keep improving your plan all year, for your company and for your employees. The insurance company you choose pays us, so we’re free to you.\\\n\\\n**Why trust us**\\\nAndrew and I met 16 years ago building the Kindle at Amazon. He spent the last several years leading engineering for Metamate, Meta's internal AI platform. I've started and sold two companies and raised $42M. Before this I built and ran level-funded plans, PEOs, and association health plans, with a Net Promoter Score of 79 vs. the industry average of 14, so I know what good looks like and where the system breaks. \\\n\\\nThe full story of why I came back to this, and why it's called Decent, is here: \\\n\\\n**Traction**\\\nAI is doing 89% of our brokerage work and climbing, and we just caught a one-time surgery driving 46% of a client's claims spend and kept it out of next year's rates. 67 companies are working with us so far, and many more are close behind.\\\n\\\n**What you can do now**\n\n* If you or someone you know runs or helps run a US company with roughly 2 to 200 people renewing by January 1, 2027, book 15 minutes with me to find the best plan for you: \n* Want to look first?
