GroupHub

GroupHub operated as a health-tech firm, offering a unified platform for health, insurance, and benefits management. The company was founded in 2014 by Allen Byerly, Kunal Mukherjee, Gabriel Roybal, and Roger Bradley-Jungemann. The founding team brought a diverse range of experience to the venture: Byerly had a background in integration software, Mukherjee had executive experience in technology and insurance, Roybal held a PhD in Molecular Biology and was a certified health insurance broker, and Bradley-Jungemann had experience as a developer at tech companies like Google and Intuit.

The business was centered on providing a cloud-based platform designed to simplify benefits enrollment and administration for small businesses, their employees, and insurance brokers. It aimed to help independent benefits brokers compete with technology-first companies by providing them with online enrollment software. The platform's features included tools to streamline enrollment, automate ACA (Affordable Care Act) reporting, manage plans, and ensure regulatory compliance with laws such as HIPAA. For employees, it offered a single, unified application for all benefits, while employers could track enrollment progress and manage onboarding. The system was designed to reduce administrative costs for brokers by over 90% and free up more than 30% of their time.

GroupHub primarily served small businesses and independent benefits brokers, positioning itself as a benefits marketplace that made it easier and more affordable to acquire quality insurance. In 2015, the company participated in the Blueprint Health Winter Accelerator program, which helped it build out its network and product functionality, securing 10 pilot programs with independent brokerages. The company received $20K in funding from the accelerator in February 2015. According to PitchBook, GroupHub is no longer in business as of January 2018.
