On a mission to transform the employee experience.

The benefits landscape is broken—fragmented, complex, and impossible to navigate. Employees struggle to make informed decisions in the moments that matter, while HR teams are buried in administrative overhead.

The cost is staggering. In the U.S. alone, $300 billion in benefits spending goes to waste every year—dollars that should be driving better health, productivity, and outcomes.

We believe there shouldn’t be a tradeoff between cost control and employee experience. Avante envisions a future where employers and employees alike are empowered with transparency, real-time insights, and AI-driven guidance to make benefits work better—for everyone.

Our Values

  • Beat Yesterday!

    We are reminded that every day is a fresh start with new challenges. Our job is to embrace these challenges, relentlessly pursue the objective by bringing our best selves, and always be better than yesterday! This value is a commitment to excellence and continuous growth, where we break our own limits and redefine what’s possible.

  • Embrace Type 2 Fun

    Building companies is an arduous, uphill climb. However, the work and the relationships forged in this time can be life- (and world-) changing. Realize that there will be hard days and be resilient and be positive when they come. Enjoy the journey and the privilege of the position we are in. Exude empathy for your peers and have a little levity.

  • Act Like an Owner

    There’s no ‘not my job’ here. We have an intense bias towards action, and a deep-seated desire to solve the problem, not admire it. We navigate extreme ambiguity by constantly reorienting ourselves to the broader goals of the business, and we take the time to understand the context that informs those goals. We hold ourselves and each other accountable with kindness, candor, and courage. Most of all, we know our job is never done—not when the deal is closed, the code is shipped, or the model is deployed.

  • Stay Hungry, Stay Curious

    We believe in our collective ability to radically, not incrementally, impact the lives of millions of our fellow humans. And we take that responsibility seriously and with humility. We’re endlessly curious and never accept ‘because it’s always been that way’ as a satisfactory answer. We believe that the day we think of ourselves as experts is when we stop learning and growing. We challenge ourselves and our teammates to ask the questions everyone else is only thinking about.
