Denta

In their words
Denta is dental insurance. As a full stack carrier, Denta makes insurance 30% cheaper by selling plans directly to employers and processing claims instantly with AI. I grew up in the back office of my dad’s dental practices, spent my high school years answering patient calls, and built software for over 300 dentists during college. I'm now solving the industry's biggest problem: insurance. Everyone knows how bad health insurance is, dental insurance is worse. In the US, dental insurers collect $100B per year. Despite the $25B of that spent on administration, it still takes insurers three weeks to pay claims with paper checks that Denta can pay electronically in seconds. Denta will insure every American, sparing patients and dentists the $25B burden of dealing with legacy carriers.

Is this you?
If you're behind Denta: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
