Thatch

What Thatch does

Thatch is a San Francisco-based health benefits platform founded in 2021 by Adam Stevenson and Chris Ellis that administers Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) for employers, allowing them to set a fixed monthly healthcare allowance per employee while staff choose their own individual-market health, dental, and vision plans from major carriers such as Anthem, Oscar, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Ambetter. The platform combines an ICHRA administration engine, an employer dashboard, a member-facing benefits portal, a curated Thatch Marketplace of health and wellness services (Oura, Hims & Hers, Grow Therapy, Sesame, Function Health, Prenuvo, Galileo, AliveCor, Teal Health, MyOme, Lyra Health, Williamsburg Therapy Group), a Thatch Visa debit card issued by Thread Bank (Member FDIC) for spending leftover budget on qualified medical expenses, an AI-powered SMS assistant called Ask Thatch, and a Thatch for Platforms REST API for embedded partner integrations.

The company monetizes through per-enrolled-employee SaaS subscriptions ($45 PEPM on the Standard tier for 1-49 eligible employees with a $25/month compliance fee minimum, plus custom Enterprise contracts for 50+ employees bundling ACA compliance and COBRA), card-based interchange and banking fees via Thread Bank and Bangor Savings Bank, and marketplace partner economics from curated health and wellness providers. Distribution runs through self-serve employer onboarding, direct sales, a dedicated broker/agency channel (with named broker partners including Allstate, WTW, KBI, Marsh McLennan Agency, and ICHRA Shop), an embedded API channel anchored by an integration into ADP's RUN Powered by ADP payroll, and the Marketplace as a post-sale engagement surface.

As of the April 2025 Series B, Thatch had raised $84.5M in total funding from Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, GV, and ADP Ventures, served 4,000+ employers, operated with 200+ employees across San Francisco, Austin, New York, and remote US hubs, and held industry recognition including a #5 ranking on the 2025 CB Insights Insurtech 50. In April 2026, Thatch expanded its customer base through a transition agreement with Venteur.

Core offering

Thatch is an all-in-one health benefits platform that administers Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) for employers. Employers set a fixed monthly healthcare allowance per employee, and employees use Thatch to select individual-market health, dental, and vision plans from top carriers, spend remaining budget via a Thatch Visa debit card, and access curated wellness services through the Thatch Marketplace. The platform handles plan design, reimbursements, payroll deductions, carrier payments, ACA compliance, COBRA, and 24/7 AI-powered member support via Ask Thatch, and it offers an embedded API (Thatch for Platforms) for payroll and HRIS partners.

Product overview

Thatch offers a single unified health-benefits platform anchored by the Thatch ICHRA Platform, which is the core product for administering Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) for employers of all sizes. Layered on top of that core, the Thatch Marketplace extends the platform into a curated ecosystem of health and wellness services (wearables, mental health, genomics, primary care, fertility, etc.) accessible via the same tax-free allowance. Thatch for Platforms is a partner-facing API and embeddable-component product that allows payroll, HR, and benefits platforms to embed ICHRA benefits (with ADP being a flagship integration via the RUN Powered by ADP payroll platform). Within the platform, Ask Thatch is the AI-powered 24/7 member support service, and the Thatch Visa Debit Card is the payment instrument that lets employees spend any unused budget on qualified medical expenses. Thatch for Brokers, ICHRA for Startups, ICHRA for SMB, and ICHRA for Enterprises are channel- and segment-specific packages built on the same underlying ICHRA administration engine, and the Thatch Instant Quote Tool provides a self-service entry point for prospective SMB customers.
