Stedi

What makes Stedi worth knowing is the bet behind it: no one had built a new healthcare clearinghouse in decades, and Stedi is doing it with best-in-class software standards rather than legacy infrastructure. Backed by investors including Stripe, Addition, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Bloomberg Beta, the company frames itself as building for the long term in a large, underserved market.

Culture runs on a short list of standards: constant ownership of business value, being customer-obsessed, and treating everything as important enough to make high-quality and simple before relentlessly raising the bar. Engineers and designers ship products week in and week out, with a shared passion for automation and eliminating toil. Compensation reflects that bar, with the company targeting 90th-percentile cash plus equity. Stedi is remote-first, headquartered in New York City with an additional office in San Francisco, and hires across the US and Canada.
