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.
The company has also attracted significant funding, with its latest round closing at $40M. This funding has boosted Beam's valuation by 25% since its Series E in 2021 and will fuel a 40% year-over-year revenue growth. Over the past 18 months, Beam has expanded its portfolio with six new benefits products and aims to add more in-demand offerings to meet market needs.
Originally known as Beam Dental, the company has become a comprehensive employee benefits provider.
