Cobi Gantz – Founder and CEO of Chapter
Kobe Feld Ganz is the founder and CEO of Chapter, a company that makes it easier for people to sign up for Medicare. He has a background in philosophy, business, and Palantir Technologies, where he worked on data systems for the US government. When he saw his parents struggle to transition into retirement and deal with Medicare, he decided to start Chapter to prioritize consumer’s interests and make the process easier. His advice for starting a business is to have a grand vision and then solve one problem after another until you reach your goal.
Chapter – Simplifying Medicare Enrollment and Navigation
Chapter focuses on helping people with Medicare enrollment and navigation. They earn revenue from insurance carriers when someone enrolls in a Medicare plan through them, and they remain unbiased by not including commission in their recommendation engine. There are two major trends affecting the Medicare industry – stricter regulations on advertising and more competitive benefit profiles of Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage may not always be the best option for everyone, as it depends on personal circumstances and needs. Chapter is looking to build on the trust they have earned to help people navigate and define this phase of life.
Looking Towards the Future
Medicare Advantage was supposed to decrease cost while improving care, but the jury is still out on that. This year Chapter is focusing on accelerating their partnerships and development with healthcare institutions to make sure patients get the best Medicare guidance. Having a co-founder is important for long-term success as it offers someone to commiserate, strategize, and have aligned incentives.
