Thatch

Thatch is a health benefits platform that combines financial technology and insurance services. Founded in October 2021 by Chris Ellis and Adam Stevenson, the company is based in San Francisco, with additional offices in New York and Austin. Thatch's mission is to decouple health insurance from employment, allowing businesses to offer personalized healthcare experiences to their employees. The platform serves as a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) and specializes in Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA). Thatch simplifies health benefits administration by enabling employers to set tax-free healthcare budgets, which employees can use to select their own health insurance plans and additional benefits like mental health support and wellness programs. The company also provides a Visa debit card for employees to manage their healthcare spending easily. Thatch primarily targets small to mid-sized businesses and startups, offering a streamlined setup process and tools to help employers manage healthcare budgets effectively. With significant investor backing, Thatch is positioned to enhance the healthcare experience for businesses and their teams.
