## Competitive Advantages
- **Insurance network expertise**: Alma’s core value is making it easy for therapists to accept insurance (a notoriously complex process), which differentiates it from many direct-pay-only platforms.

- **Engineering and data culture**: Active roles in Data Science, Business Intelligence, Engineering, and Product suggest a data-driven, tech-enabled environment.
- **Collaborative environment**: Emphasis on supporting therapists (the “Alma membership”) and a team-oriented approach to solving complex healthcare challenges.
