Our take

Ideon, which rebranded from Vericred in 2022, offers an API platform to allow for better data exchange between insurers, employee benefits providers, and HR platforms. In effect, Ideon builds infrastructure to power better customer experiences in purchasing, enrollment, and management of benefits.

Ideon’s trajectory since its 2015 launch has been in keeping with the expansion of the Insurtech industry as a whole, which is growing by over 40% annually. By positioning itself as the connecting point between insurers, brokers, HR teams, and employees, Ideon has been able to attract plenty of well known users.

Insurance providers like MetLife, Principal, and Guardian are amongst these, as are popular HR and benefits platforms like Sequoia, Gusto, and Namely.

Since receiving major funding ahead of its rebrand, Ideon has been focusing heavily on expanding its employee headcount, as well as its executive team, in a bid to meet the growing demand for its APIs.
