The Rivendell broker

Health insurance without the headache.

Peace of mind for founders. We find the best plan for your team, handle the paperwork, and stay on call every day after.

Groups get signed up in about 5 minutes.

Peace of mind

Offload the entire insurance stack to us.

You shouldn't be reading carrier PDFs at 11pm or negotiating renewals between product launches. We handle the whole thing.

We do the shopping

We evaluate the market every renewal — carriers, networks, formularies, out-of-pocket maxes — so you don't have to.

We handle renewals

No surprise rate hikes. We negotiate renewals months ahead and bring you a short list of better options if it's time to switch.

We advocate on bills

Every confusing bill, denied claim, and surprise charge goes through us. Your team stops playing insurance detective.

We stay in your Slack

A dedicated Slack Connect channel means your team gets a real person within minutes, not a ticket queue.

Signup in 5 minutes

Ready to quote in one sitting.

Most founders are done with the broker intake before their coffee gets cold. No lawyer review, no long forms, no calls just to schedule a call.
