Built by people who knew
benefits were broken
OPM was founded in 2018 by a group of benefits administrators, actuaries, and technologists who had spent their careers inside the system — and were fed up with it. They'd watched HR teams drown in spreadsheets during open enrollment. They'd seen employees make costly plan decisions because no one could explain the options clearly. They'd spent entire quarters reconciling carrier discrepancies that should have been caught by software.
The problem wasn't that benefits were inherently complicated. The problem was that every tool in the market had been designed for carriers and brokers — not for the employers and employees who actually live with the consequences. So we built something different: a platform engineered from the enrollment experience backward, where accuracy is non-negotiable and every employee gets the guidance they deserve.
Seven years later, OPM manages benefits for over 50,000 lives across hundreds of organizations. We're still the same team of practitioners who refuse to ship anything we wouldn't want to use ourselves.
