Stride Health, Inc. is a California startup focused on connecting individuals with health plans under the Affordable Care Act. Its approach to the marketplace has led to coverage from Wired Magazine,[1] re/code,[2] the San Francisco Chronicle[3] and others.[4][5][6] It is backed by New Enterprise Associates[7] and Venrock.[8]

Services

[edit]

According to Wired, the company exploits "a failing of the new federal and state health insurance marketplaces: a lack of quick recommendations tailored to specific needs of consumers."[1] It provides a search service for consumers to find a health plan that fits their unique needs and circumstances, "such as age, gender, illnesses, medications, doctors they want to see and smoking habits."[1] Other sources refer to this service as a "recommendation engine."[4]

In January 2015, Stride Health launched a new mobile-focused version of its healthcare recommendation engine.[9]

Personnel

[edit]

The company was founded by Noah Lang (formerly of Reputation.com) and Matt Butner (formerly of [R/GA]).[1]
