#2Hmm, maybe it's just me, but clicking on the HealthSherpa.com link on the sidebar leads me to http://blog.healthsherpa.com/www.healthsherpa.com and I'm assuming that it should simply go to www.healthsherpa.com

Me too. It's an incorrectly written link, as it doesn't include a protocol.

Just fixed! Thanks for pointing it out.

#7I tried comparing some plans, but it always gives me 500 with the very familiar red "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message. At least I know you are using Rails.
And now I know in terms I can understand why healthcare is such a pain. :)

Sorry about that. Which zip code are you in? We are accepting enrollments in the 37 healthcare.gov states - FL, TX, NJ, etc. We are working on adding CA, NY and others soon. To see it all in action, try a FL zip code like 33604. Thank you for taking a look!

#9That's pretty awesome growth from the 40 signups NYT reported you had as of March last year! [1] Congratulations on the incredible break-out success.
If the broker's cut is average just $100 / year (WAG) on 110,000 signups, that's ARR of $11 million. Holy shit, nicely done on $1.1m of funding.
Their agent platform [2] nets just $10 per application and gives the agent the full commission, but even just $1m revenue is impressive for the funding level.
Also, can we now officially stop talking about trying to fix the problem from the inside? If this doesn't show that healthcare.gov (and every single other state-exchange) should never have been built in the first place, I don't know what does. It also makes you wonder, does the Fed get that annual broker's commission when you signup fully on healthcare.gov, or do they just give it away to the insurance company?

It's actually a mix - we are agent of record on a sizable portion, and we process enrollments for insurance companies and agents for the remainder.
Our main goal is to making signing up as easy as possible. Our currently flow is getting individuals through in about 5 minutes, and families in around 10. The revenue will allow us to build many more useful features.
