At Clasp, we're on a mission to transform the health insurance industry by modernizing and automating the entire benefits experience. We started in 2023 backed by investors such as Base10 Partners, Terrain, Conversion Capital, and SemperVirens, firms that have led investments and helped grow companies like Ramp, Rippling, and Blend from the seed stage. The problem we're solving Employers collectively spend over a trillion dollars on benefits every year, yet more than 85% of employees find their benefits confusing. This confusion stems from outdated systems and manual processes that lead to errors, delays, and widespread frustration. Our vision is to create an ecosystem where everyone benefits: - Brokers eliminate busy work and enhance their advisory roles - Employers receive a tailored, efficient benefits experience with better coverage and service, often at lower costs - Employees gain clear, accessible information about their benefits, leading to higher satisfaction and engagement - Partners like HR and payroll platforms expand their offerings effortlessly with our embeddable solutions ## About the role A business operations internship with product and engineering surface area. You'll sit between ops, product, and engineering. ## What you'll do - Build business cases for new product surfaces, including COBRA, 401k, HSA/FSA, and etc - Run product sprints: write the requirements doc for a surface area like our enrollment flow through internal and cross functional interviews, then shape roadmap with engineering - Scope MVPs, including reworking existing ones to fit the customers we have now - Work with account managers to turn opportunities into real partner adoption - Find broken or manual workflows, propose a fix, build it, and pitch it - Build projection models to support prioritization ## What we're looking for - Comfortable in both business and technical conversations - Proactive: you fix what's broken without waiting to be asked - Can turn an ambiguous problem into a clear recommendation - Comfortable in spreadsheets and with messy data - Some building experience: scripting, automation, SQL, or shipping alongside engineers ## Nice to have - Benefits, insurance, payroll, HR tech, fintech, or healthcare exposure - Experience scoping work directly with engineers - Financial modeling experience, though this is a plus rather than a requirement ## About Clasp ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Clasp provides AI-driven health benefits administration infrastructure for HR, payroll, and benefits brokers. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Zach Zhang and Amar Jasarbasic ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: InsurTech / Health benefits administration - **Target customers**: B2B – HR platforms, payroll companies, benefits brokers and brokerages - **Mission**: Make employee benefits easier for everyone by automating administration, compliance, and carrier connections. ## Products & Services - **[Clasp Admin Platform]**: SaaS platform for managing employee benefits – medical enrollment, HSA/FSA, COBRA, ACA compliance, and configurable eligibility rules. Integrates with existing HR/payroll systems via API, SDK, or MCP server. - **[Developer API]**: API-first infrastructure that lets partners embed benefits administration directly into their own software, enabling quote-to-bind workflows and carrier feed automation. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company) - **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $7.88M raised across 2 rounds (Seed & Series A) - **Notable Investors**: Base10 Partners (lead), Eric Stromberg, Andrew Brown, Willem Van Lancker - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew from 8 (earlier in 2026) to 17 as of May 31, 2026 (per Tracxn). Actively hiring for roles including Account Executive and Business Operations Associate. Cited as “powering benefits at scale for industry leaders.” ## Competitive Advantages - **Modular infrastructure** that plugs into existing stacks via API, SDK, or MCP server – not a monolithic platform. - **High carrier connection automation rate** (claimed “hands-free carrier connections”) reducing eligibility discrepancies. - **24/7 compliance monitoring** for ACA, COBRA, and regulatory feeds. - **Built specifically for brokers** – an underserved segment in the employee benefits space. ## Strategic Focus - Continue automating the end-to-end benefits administration lifecycle (quote → enrollment → compliance → carrier feeds). - Expand integration partnerships with payroll, HRIS, and vertical SaaS platforms. - Scale sales and customer success teams to capture more of the broker and employer market. ## Why Work Here - **Early-stage startup** (Series A) with a clear product-market fit in InsurTech – opportunity to have outsized impact. - **Culture**: Emphasizes automation, engineering excellence, and “building the future of benefits.” - **Work policy**: Flexible – roles posted as both “In-Office or Remote” (Account Executive) and “Hybrid” (Business Operations Associate). Based in a NYC office (Flatiron area) with options for remote/hybrid depending on role. - **Team**: Small, tight-knit group of ~17 people as of mid-2026; co-founders are hands-on (Zach Zhang and CEO Amar Jasarbasic). - **Engineering culture**: API-first product; developers work on infrastructure that integrates with dozens of carrier systems and compliance frameworks. ## Sources 1.
