Avante is looking to transform how self-funded employers manage their benefits and HR operations by providing an AI-powered SaaS platform that helps employers shift from reactive firefighting to strategic planning, while providing employees with the guidance they need to truly understand and maximize their benefits. Employee benefits represent the second-largest expense for most businesses, yet the landscape is fragmented, complex, and difficult to navigate. Avante unifies fragmented benefits data and provides AI-driven insights that help employers control costs while delivering an exceptional employee experience.
