“StretchDollar’s platform seeks to make it easier for small businesses to set up health insurance plans for their employees. Its platform is set to launch in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Illinois and Colorado on Oct. 1. The startup, which has a second headquarters in San Francisco, is tracking to cover California, North Carolina and Texas by the end of 2023 with plans to be in all 50 states in 2024.”Â
“Insurance is one of those things that always seems unnecessarily complicated. But Marshall Darr wants to make it easier for small businesses to provide insurance for their employees.
Enter StretchDollar, which launched this week in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Colorado.”Â
“StretchDollar is the easiest way for small employers to give their employees tax-free funding that their employees can use on health insurance premiums. We’ve noticed that traditional group options don’t always work great with the hyper-small employers. We tried to create a way where they can set their own budget, apply it tax-free, and have all of that money go directly to employee-owned health plan premiums.”
“Stretch Dollar, which is launching this month, ‘is something I’ve been tinkering on the last couple of years,’ Darr said. He said the startup helps small businesses and employees save on health insurance plans. The Stretch Dollar platform lets small businesses give employees tax-free dollars for their health insurance premiums, and then the employees get to choose a health plan on StretchDollar’s platform.”
