About CoverRight
CoverRight is an insurance technology (‘insurtech’) startup on a mission to make Medicare more accessible to the 60 million Medicare beneficiaries across the country. We help the 10,000 people retiring every day make one of the most complex but important decisions as they age into retirement – finding the right health insurance.

We're backed by leading venture capital investors including Goodwater Capital, Hustle Fund and Carthona Capital, and have assembled a passionate and driven team to tackle an industry long overlooked by technology. Our mission is to become the most trusted partner in navigating the early-stages of retirement.

We have aggressive goals as we accelerate growth and are looking to bring on new team members who are able to move mountains to ‘get things done’.
