The round was led by Vitruvian Partners with participation from Town Hall Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Portage Ventures, PruVen Capital, and Y Combinator. The tender offer allows employees to cash out some of their shares, the company told TechCrunch. It expects the round to close later this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angle Health, a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ycombinator.com\/companies\/angle-health\" target=\"_blank\">winter 2020 YC<\/a> alum, helps small businesses obtain and manage what\u2019s known as \u201clevel funded health plans.\u201d These are plans that land between fully insured and self-funded plans. In fully insured plans, the carrier takes all the risks; such plans are more expensive but costs are predictable. With self-funded plans, the company covers the expenses and costs can be unpredictable. With level-funded plans, businesses make predictable payments to carriers, are insured against higher-than-expected costs, and can potentially save money by getting a share of the surplus back if expenses stay low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Angle says these plans can make health insurance more affordable for small businesses. It\u2019s an AI-powered platform that helps small businesses choose and manage plans, integrating with payroll and HR systems. The startup says it serves over 5,000 businesses and is profitable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/09\/18\/y-combinator-insurance-tech-alum-angle-health-hits-2-7b-valuation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, it\u2019s rare to hear of a startup founded in 2019, or one not focused on AI agents, raising a hefty Series C.
