What it sells
Fortune 500 Dental Benefits for Startups
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedEmployer (founder/HR) at startups buying benefits for staff.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Legacy dental plans cap coverage at about $1,500/year (unchanged since the 1970s) and only 60 cents of each premium dollar goes to care, leaving staff paying out of pocket.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Employer picks an annual coverage cap ($1,000/$1,500/$2,000), adds team via payroll or invite link, employees pay at the dentist with a Denta debit card that draws down the balance.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
UnverifiedEmployer-funded annual coverage balance on a debit card (not traditional insurance premiums); value claim is higher usable coverage per dollar.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Direct to employers; "Book a Call" and Get Coverage signup; payroll connection; separate Providers and Patients portals.
