Catalyst by Wellstar partners with Venteur, a digital health startup transforming the way employers offer health benefits—with flexible, personalized coverage options that empower employees and reduce costs.
Health insurance isn’t exactly built with people in mind. It’s hard to navigate. It’s expensive. And it rarely feels like it meets the needs of the people it’s supposed to serve.
That’s where Venteur comes in—and why Catalyst by Wellstar is proud to invest in their work.
Venteur is a healthcare startup offering a new model for employer-sponsored health benefits that’s all about personalization, flexibility, and affordability. Through the use of ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) plans, Venteur helps companies give their employees real choice in their health insurance—while providing more predictable costs and better financial control for employers.
Here’s how it works:
Employers contribute tax-free dollars to each employee’s personalized health benefits wallet. Employees then use Venteur’s digital platform—powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and built on three decades of insurance claims data—to select the plan that best suits their individual needs. It’s intuitive. It’s personalized. And it’s built for real-life scenarios—whether someone’s managing a chronic condition, planning for a family, or simply looking for better coverage.
The result?
Companies save significantly on healthcare costs (up to $250 per employee per month) while offering a richer, more customizable benefits experience. Employees feel more supported and in control, and businesses gain a powerful new tool for recruiting and retention.
“At Catalyst, we believe the future of healthcare isn’t just about hospitals and doctors—it’s about empowering people with personalized, flexible tools to navigate their health journey,” said John D. Cooper, Vice President of Venture Investments for Wellstar Health System and Head of Venture Investment for Catalyst by Wellstar. “Venteur is doing exactly that. By putting choice and control in the hands of employees—and giving employers a smarter way to manage benefits—they’re solving one of the most frustrating pain points in the industry. We’re proud to partner with them as they reshape the health insurance experience, making it more personal, more affordable, and more human.”
Innovation With Purpose
Venteur’s mission goes beyond convenience. It’s rooted in a vision of solving the health insurance affordability crisis in the U.S.—one employer, one employee at a time.
Their platform doesn’t just streamline the experience—it elevates it. With concierge-level support, AI-powered plan recommendations, and an easy-to-use marketplace, Venteur empowers both small businesses and larger employers to deliver a best-in-class benefits experience without breaking the bank.
“At Venteur, we believe everyone deserves access to health benefits that actually work for them—not just what’s convenient for the system,” said Stacy Edgar, CEO and co-founder of Venteur. “Our goal is to bring personalized, affordable health coverage to employees across the country by partnering with employers who are ready for something better. It’s about putting people first and helping them make confident, informed choices about their care.”
It’s no wonder they’ve become a go-to solution for companies looking to offer modern, human-centered benefits in a competitive job market.
At Catalyst by Wellstar, we’re committed to supporting innovations that align with what patients—and employees—actually want. Healthcare doesn’t stop at the hospital doors, and neither should innovation.
Venteur is helping employers reimagine how they care for their teams.
We’re excited to help scale that vision—because when healthcare works better for everyone, everyone wins.
