OSCR

Oscar Health, Inc.

A maker of individual-market health insurance plans sold through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces in 18 states, Oscar also runs the +Oscar technology platform that partners use to engage their members. Founded in 2012 by Mario Schlosser, Joshua Kushner, and Kevin Nazemi after Schlosser struggled to navigate the healthcare system following his child's birth, the company is a cloud-native tech play aimed at making insurance feel less confusing. The name "Oscar" was deliberately chosen to sound like a friendly person you could talk to, rather than a faceless financial institution.
