The funding round, led by Vitruvian Partners and joined by Town Hall Ventures, Blumberg Capital, Portage Ventures, PruVen Capital, and Y Combinator, is set to close later this month. The company, a winter 2020 graduate of Y Combinator, specializes in providing small businesses with \"level funded health plans,\" a hybrid between fully insured and self-funded plans. These plans offer predictable payments to carriers, insurance against unexpected costs, and the potential to save money if expenses remain low. Angle Health's AI-powered platform assists businesses in selecting and managing these plans, integrating with payroll and HR systems. The startup currently serves over 5,000 businesses and has achieved profitability.",
