Our take

Beam Benefits was founded to modernize dental benefits, addressing a gap where employee plans often prioritized healthcare with minimal dental coverage. Its first product, Beam Brush was an early healthcare IoT innovation and the company has seen significant growth since then, expanding across 45 states and serving over 250,0000 people.

Originally known as Beam Dental, the company has become a comprehensive employee benefits provider. With its AI-powered underwriting, digital platform, self-service tools, and the Beam Perks program, beam offers a full suite of ancillary benefits, including vision, life, disability, and supplemental health.

The company has also attracted significant funding, with its latest round closing at $17.5M, bringing its total raised to $248M since founding in 2012.
