After successfully raising a round from Steph Curry's Penny Jar, Bread & Butter Ventures, NOMO Ventures + some amazing angels to fix Customer Support, James O'Brien needed to quickly set up comprehensive health benefits for his team. Ducky required a solution that was both high-quality and cost-effective, without the complexity often associated with benefits management.
Here is why he chose Rollfi...
Previous Experience Setting Up Benefits

- Need for Flexibility: As Ducky grew, James sought a more tailored approach to address the unique needs of his startup.
- Desire for Comprehensive Coverage: He recognized the importance of high-quality health benefits and was committed to providing excellent coverage without compromising on quality.
