Overview
Thatch helps employers offer Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) benefits — giving employees tax-free budgets to select their own health, dental, and vision plans. Founded by Chris Ellis and Adam Stevenson, Thatch raised seed funding co-led by a16z and GV in 2023, a $38M Series A led by General Catalyst and Index Ventures, and a $40M Series B led by Index with a16z participating. The platform includes AI plan recommendations, payroll integrations, and an embedded API (QuickBooks among partners).

Competitive landscape
Edge: First-mover tooling for ICHRA compliance and employee experience — largest venture funding in the category per company announcements.
ICHRA adoption is rising but employers need hand-holding on compliance. Thatch wins on product UX and API distribution; risk is HRIS incumbents bundling ICHRA as a feature.

Notable stories
