@askchapter gets a lot of hate from the legacy Medicare industry.
We refuse to do things in an unethical way just because that’s the way it’s always been done.
Instead of letting the industry comment on what Chapter does, we decided to directly address the misconceptions.
More to come.

Is Anthropic altering model performance to force costly upgrades? Chapter Co-Founder and CEO @CobiBGantz outlines a shift his team recently noticed:
"Anthropic has kind of taken a page out of the Apple playbook, where they have...decreased the quality of the prior models right before they launched the new model, so that the new model feels better."

"It's way better to have no one, than the wrong person."
- @askchapter CEO Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz (@CobiBGantz)
Blumenfeld-Gantz is one of a number of high-growth startup founders to have spent formative years at Palantir.
His biggest lesson from the controversial tech giant: talent density can get you through anything.
"There was a period of 3 or 4 years when Palantir actually didn't grow much," he tells @UpstartsMediaCo. "That's a death knell for a company today."
Palantir engineered its way out, he argues. "Keeping the talent bar very high, and being willing to eat the pain... that's a continuously learned lesson."
Catch the full interview on The Upstarts Podcast.
“I am one of the most hated people in the industry."
Chapter CEO Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz (@CobiBGantz) is on a mission to save seniors thousands on their Medicare.
That makes him a target for legacy Medicare providers, he says. "I'm bad for business."
That business is booming, with @askchapter recently reaching $100M in ARR and a $3B valuation 📈
It's a bipartisan mission, too. @VivekGRamaswamy is a co-founder, and Chapter is one of the only startups to count VPs on both sides of the aisle as investors in @JDVance and @algore 🤝
On The Upstarts Podcast, Blumenfeld-Gantz shares:
▪️lessons from working as a forward deployed engineer at Palantir (and its controversies)
▪️how going national from day one was a worthwhile gamble
▪️ why his most important metric is a twist on a classic startup one: product-market-channel fit
Plus, his Upstart Moment: when last year’s government shutdown cut off Chapter’s data during Medicare’s busiest enrollment window, and his team had one week to reverse-engineer their way out.

“There's absolutely no incentive for an insurance carrier to invest dollars into making me healthy today.”
Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz (@CobiBGantz) explains the structural flaw in healthcare: why carriers choose reactive care over long-term wellness when patients might switch providers in less than a year.
“I may or may not be covered by that insurance carrier in 9 months. And so why would they invest anything other than relatively reactive care?”
@askchapter @HillValleyForum
Special edition of We The Builders at @HillValleyForum with Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz (@CobiBGantz) who cofounded @askchapter with @VivekGRamaswamy.
Since then they have announced $100m in a new Series E funding round valuing the company at $3B.
They have 2x-ed since in valuation our last conversation in November. I would make the case that if you were a listener or subscriber of We The Builders, you would have and should have known of Cobi & Chapter. Maybe you could have tried to get into that round of what is going to be the category winner in the future of retirement.
The company is backed by @NaryaVC, @SusaVentures, @xyz_vc, Addition, Generation Investment Management, Peter Thiel, Lee Fixel, @8vc, @stripesco_ and more.
Congrats to friends of the show @ColinGreenspon, @falondonohue, @SethGB, @SebastianCaliri!!

new World of DaaS pod with Chapter CEO @CobiBGantz on why medicare was more broken than you think (and hopefully is not getting better):
* 24,000 plans across the country
* $100B+ annual fraud
* lifetime penalties for missing enrollment
* CMS keeps hiring Accenture (despite knowing it will fail)

SHIP offices are supposed to help people. They receive $135 million federal funding each year. But one outdated rule prevents people from receiving the help they need from SHIPs:

Proud of our team for the work they did here -- and the work they do every day to support retiring Americans. Drug prices vary wildly across Medicare plans. We've invested heavily in technology to ensure our members minimize their prescription spend.
@USATODAYmoney's @KatieWedell shows how the cost of #insulin can be astronomical for #Medicare beneficiaries.
The sad reality is there are #pricing disparities for a lot of #drugs & it's almost impossible for #Americans to know if they're being fleeced.

One weird broker trick some Medigap issuers might HATE: look at what they’re charging the 80-year-olds, not just at what 65-year-olds pay today… thinkadvisor.com/2022/09/26/… #medigap @askchapter – at Manhattan, NY
