Zizzl Health

What Zizzl Health does

Zizzl Health operates a cloud-based ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) administration platform that enables small and mid-sized employers to offer individualized health insurance benefits to employees while gaining budget predictability versus traditional group plans. The platform, accessible at app.zizzlhealth.com, integrates multiple health insurance carriers, provides plan comparison and decision-support tools for employees, processes employer premium payments and pre-tax payroll deductions, and manages ACA compliance (affordability and minimum essential coverage). The firm is positioned as a pioneer in LIMRA Data Exchange Standards (LDEx), and integrates Guardian Life's full ancillary suite (dental, vision, disability, accident, critical illness, life) for cross-sell through its broker network. The underlying technology stack is standard SaaS infrastructure (HubSpot, Cloudflare, Google Analytics, Vimeo), with competitive differentiation resting on UX, rapid implementation ('live in minutes'), and a premium payment process designed to replicate the feel of a traditional group plan.

The company serves three interlocking customer segments: (1) employers facing double-digit annual rate increases who adopt the ICHRA model to control costs and offer employee choice; (2) insurance brokers and benefits consultants seeking a differentiated ICHRA solution, organized into Premier Agency and Referral Agency tiers with co-brandable collateral and consulting fee rights; and (3) employees of ICHRA-enrolled employers who use the platform to select individual plans matched to personal health needs. Zizzl Health is a division of zizzl LLC (Wisconsin), with zizzl Holding Company, Inc. (Delaware) serving as the securities-issuing entity. GTM is dual-channel: direct employer sales supported by a free cost-analysis tool and live call center, plus a two-tier broker channel available across all U.S. states.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) ICHRA platform/subscription fees tied to enrolled employees and employer contribution amounts, billed monthly; (2) insurance commissions on individual/family plan (IFP) enrollments as agent of record and on Guardian ancillary group products; and (3) broker consulting fees that Premier and Referral Agency partners may charge employer clients for ICHRA implementation and ongoing administration. The company has raised approximately $30.2M across multiple exempt securities offerings between 2020 and 2026, and reports 100% client retention from 2021 to 2022 with no employer contribution increase, supporting a customer outcome narrative of 'most employers save 20% or more' on renewal costs versus traditional group plans.

Revenue model

1. ICHRA Platform/Subscription Fees: Zizzl Health generates revenue through employers who adopt its ICHRA solution. The company facilitates the employer-funded reimbursement model where employers contribute a fixed monthly amount per employee for individual health insurance. Revenue is tied to the number of employees enrolled in ICHRA plans and the employer contribution amounts managed through the platform.
2. Insurance Commissions (IFP & Ancillary Products): As an insurance agency, Zizzl Health earns commissions on individual/family plan (IFP) enrollments as agent of record and on ancillary group insurance products (Guardian dental, vision, disability, accident, critical illness, life). Premier agency brokers receive IFP agent of record compensation and ancillary commissions.
3. Broker Consulting Fees: Both Premier Agency and Referral Agency broker partners can charge and collect consulting fees to their employer clients for ICHRA implementation and ongoing administration services.
