Founders Don't Understand Benefits

Founders usually get benefits wrong. I’ve seen it time and again after 5 years with the Startup Stack. We’re all so used to our employers providing benefits. When it’s up to us, we are lost. Most founders I meet go uninsured or are drastically overpaying. This can cripple your founding team as well as your ability to recruit.

Most brokerages hate startups. You’re cash-strapped, often with unpredictable income early-on. Traditional brokerages love to stick startups into impersonal, expensive plans. We researched for over a year what it would take to be different. We built our entire platform around helping early startups get off the ground. Benefits are no different.

Candidly, we have a tricky business model. Our mission is to increase the likelihood of your startup's success. In 5 years, we've always offered this free to founders. Insurance is a perfect product to add to our offerings. There's no markup to work with us, so we don't drive up your costs by offering it. It does however give us a product that we can offer you directly that synergizes perfectly with everything else we're already doing. It's a win for you, for us, and for everyone we have the honor of working with. This means more value for you while building the Startup Stack aligned with our values.

What is the Resilience Stack?

We're proud to announce what we call the Resilience Stack. For years, the Startup Stack has helped founders with software and service provider recommendations, but benefits kept coming up as one of your BIGGEST pains. Insuring yourself while building your startup is daunting. We've heard you and are here to help you directly. This is the insurance arm of our business dedicated to YOUR RESILIENCE. Without your well being, your startup is doomed. Insurance options like health, life, dental, vision, and accident are just the beginning. Our platform has always been by and for founders, and this is a continuation of our mission to support your success. We've already helped many dozens of founders, and we'd love to help you.
