071 - Mel Blatt of indipop: Affordable Health Care Options For Entrepreneurs and Freelancers

The Founders Live Podcast

We were joined by Mel Blatt, Founder and CEO of indipop, where she led a talk on The Most Affordable Health Care Options For Entrepreneurs to help shed some light on health memberships vs. traditional health insurance. Each year the number of people leaving their job to go out on their own increases. In many cases that means leaving behind health insurance. Currently there are over 57 million freelancers and solopreneurs in the US. And due to the effects of Covid 19 there is a rise in lay offs from full time employment, as a result there is a loss of health benefits. It can be a confusing and stressful time trying to access and afford benefits with no one helping navigate this unchartered road, thus why she created indipop. We also talk about how Founders Live and indipop have partnered to bring this option to many entrepreneurs around the US. https://www.indipop.co/ This was recorded as part of our online Founders Live Conversations Series, watch the video here.
