Over 20 million American seniors rely on independent Medicare brokers to navigate the healthcare system. These brokers provide support during critical life transitions — but have long lacked world-class insurance technology and services to support their own growth.
Spark was founded in 2020 to close this gap. We are a technology company innovating how the best brokers acquire, enroll, and serve their clients. With our industry-leading CRM, AI workflows, and client services, brokers can finally build the business of their dreams — and help more Americans find quality healthcare. With over 8,000 brokers serving 225,000 beneficiaries, Spark is the fastest-growing Medicare brokerage in the country.
We’re now looking for new builders and operators to accelerate our impact. Our talent-dense team combines experience from top technology and healthcare companies like Square, Ramp, Yext, Oscar, Cedar, and Galileo. Backed by top-tier investors, including Primary Ventures and Viewpoint Ventures, we’re united by a mission to build technology that solves societal needs.
Well-being is a big part of our work — and it applies to our employees too. We offer generous benefits like flexible work locations, sabbaticals for tenured employees, annual company retreats, and monthly socials to keep our team connected and performing at their best. We’re proud that last year, we were named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces of 2025.
Join us if you’re excited to redefine an industry and shape what the next era of insurance should look like.
