About Us
- The insurance broker is a critical, yet underleveraged asset within the healthcare value chain. Despite being the first point of contact for patients and providing critical guidance on everything from insurance plan selection to care navigation, many still rely on manual workflows and spreadsheets to run their business, and are unable to grow at their desired pace.
- Gyde is building an AI-native brokerage platform by acquiring traditional agencies and supercharging them with workflow automation, voice and chat AI applications, and predictive product and plan selection guidance.
- Our vision is to be the premier partner for ambitious agencies, streamlining their operations through the Gyde platform to enable their success in the current regulatory and technological paradigm shift.
- Our founding team boasts pedigrees from Oscar, Stripe, and Spark. Lightspeed led Gyde's Seed financing, with participation from Virtue and Crystal Venture Partners, and angels from Oscar, Uber, and more.
