Our take
Lively is a platform offering modern Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). As high-deductible health plans are regularly replacing traditional deductible plans in many employee benefit schemes, Lively is capitalizing by offering their consumer-first, paperwork-light accounts to employers and individuals.
Impressively, the platform’s product-first approach saw it successfully achieve $500 million Assets Under Management (AUM) faster than any other HSA provider. As it is ultimately a savings account provider, market turbulence could hurt the company’s bottom line. But its diverse customers and products should help ensure Lively’s growth.
The startup has raised sizeable funding which has been invested in building more consumer tools, scaling its team and further expanding its offerings to financial institutions and employers. It has now surpassed $2 billion in AUM, reflecting the immense success the ocmpany has had so far.
