Nava Benefits

Nava Benefits is a technology-enabled employee benefits brokerage founded in 2019 by Brandon Weber (CEO) and Donald DeSantis. The company combines benefits advisors with AI-powered software, with the stated aim of reducing rising healthcare costs and aligning financial incentives with employers and employees rather than earning insurance company commissions. It operates in the United States across the employee benefits, health insurance and human resources sectors.

The firm's product work centres on two offerings. Nava HQ is an AI-powered benefits command centre for HR teams, and the Nava Benefits App gives employees round-the-clock support and instant answers to benefits questions. Technical work spans AI-powered benefits technology, employee benefits platforms, healthcare cost transparency and HR technology. The company describes itself as a cross-functional team of benefits and technology experts.

Reported performance measures include a G2 rating of 4.8, a client NPS of 90 and member satisfaction of 97%. The company traces its founding to the founders' own encounters with healthcare cost variation, citing MRI prices of $400 to $4,000 and ACL surgery costing between $7,000 and $60,000 for the same doctor. Its stated mission is to bring high-quality, affordable healthcare to all Americans.
