Startups

An extension of your growing team

Specialty Program for VCs and VC-backed Startups

While Ellingson Group works with clients of all sizes and industries, our Startup Program is exceptional in the industry due to the fact that we offer hands-on service to startups just like we do for our large clients, while most brokers focus solely on larger, established companies.

Designed for both Venture Capital (VC) firms and VC-backed startups, our Startup Program is crafted to save you time and money, scale with your company’s growth, and enable you to attract, engage, and retain top talent in your industry.

Modern technologies

Don’t just take our word for it

From a Venture Capital Firm:

“EGI has been instrumental in supporting not only our company’s benefits but also those of our portfolio companies. Elisabeth has consistently provided the utmost professionalism, simplifying the typically complex health benefits process. Her extensive knowledge, responsiveness, and expertise have been invaluable! Thank you, Elisabeth!”

From a tech company that came to us as 2 employees, now 100+:


“Elisabeth Ellingson from Ellingson Group has been an exceptional benefits broker for our company. Her personable customer service, advocacy for employees, and proactive approach to problem-solving have been invaluable. Elisabeth provides expert advice on benefits, plans, and enrollments, ensuring that we make informed decisions. Her dedication to keeping us compliant with state and federal laws gives us peace of mind. We highly recommend Elisabeth to any company looking for a reliable and knowledgeable benefits broker!”


From a Startup:


“We are a <10 person startup, and we were unhappy with the benefits options offered through Gusto. When we met Elisabeth, within moments it was clear she is super knowledgeable, has good judgement, is responsible and detail oriented, and cares deeply about getting the right solution for her clients and taking care of them over time. We’ve talked to a lot of providers and brokers, and this was the easiest/best process I’ve seen.”

We put people at the center of People Ops.
