Others

• SelectQuote:
• MNsure (Minnesota's health insurance marketplace): The state-based health insurance marketplace that Briva operates within as a certified navigator. While not a competitor, MNsure is the platform and primary contract counterparty whose policy and funding decisions directly determine Briva's operating environment.
• United Way 211: Nationwide free, confidential service that connects people to local resources including health insurance enrollment support. Comparable to Briva as a parallel community-resource navigation channel that handles similar health coverage inquiries in Minnesota and across the U.S.
• findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha): Social care network that helps people find and enroll in community assistance programs including health insurance and benefits. Comparable to Briva as an enabling technology and referral layer adjacent to the navigator/enrollment assistance Briva provides.

Broad incumbents

• GoHealth: Large, publicly-traded health insurance marketplace operator that connects consumers with ACA, Medicare, and other health plans. Comparable to Briva as a higher-scale broker in the same enrollment intermediary category, though operating nationally across multiple product lines.
• eHealth: Established online health insurance broker offering individual, family, Medicare, and small-business plan comparison and enrollment. Comparable to Briva as a broader-scale incumbent in the same health insurance intermediary space with similar consumer-facing enrollment services.

Direct peers

• HealthSherpa: A leading online ACA marketplace enrollment platform that helps consumers compare and enroll in Affordable Care Act plans. Directly comparable to Briva as both serve the same marketplace enrollment use case, with HealthSherpa representing the national, digital-first version of Briva's navigator model.
• Stride Health: Health insurance broker focused on self-employed individuals and small businesses seeking ACA marketplace coverage. Comparable to Briva because both target the same self-employed and gig-economy consumer segment that needs help navigating marketplace enrollment without employer-sponsored coverage.

Regional players

• Portico Healthnet: Minnesota-based nonprofit that helps uninsured residents access health coverage through MNsure and other public programs. Closest in-region peer to Briva, offering comparable MNsure enrollment assistance and community-based navigation services to Minnesota residents.
• Hennepin County Health and Human Services: County government agency that administers Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare enrollment for Hennepin County residents. Comparable to Briva as a co-provider of public health coverage navigation services in the same Minnesota geography, sometimes serving the same clients.
