The $3 Billion AI Medicare Broker Backed By Two Vice Presidents

By Stephanie Palazzolo

The Information (April 9, 2026)

“In a world of startups claiming to use AI to discover new materials or revolutionize software development, New York City-based Chapter has a notably un-sexy mission: using AI to make it easier for seniors to enroll in Medicare.”

“On the back of that growth, the company has raised $100 million in Series E funding led by former vice president Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management at a valuation of $3 billion, double from its last fundraising a year ago. Weirdly, Gore isn’t the only vice president that’s backed Chapter: J.D. Vance’s VC firm Narya Capital led the company’s Series A in 2021. Narya, along with Fifth Down Capital, 8VC, Stripes, XYZ Venture Capital, Addition, Susa Ventures and Maverick Ventures participated in the latest round. “

“He cofounded Chapter in March 2020, alongside Corey Metzman and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, after seeing his parents struggle to navigate the complicated Medicare enrollment process, he said.

“For instance, Chapter has built AI software to predict whether a doctor is in-network for a patient or whether a patient is likely to pass the insurance underwriting process, he said. It also has developed AI assistants for its employees who advise seniors through the Medicare enrollment process.”

An AI Health-Care Unicorn With MAGA Origins Attracts an Unlikely Coalition

By Max Chafkin

Bloomberg (April 16, 2025)

“In late 2023, Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz testified at a Senate Finance Committee hearing about how health insurance brokers target elderly Americans. “The Medicare enrollment and navigation process is broken,” Blumenfeld-Gantz told the committee. He described a thicket of marketers and lead generators who sought to persuade patients to choose private Medicare Advantage plans, often in lieu of the standard federal program known to most people as just Medicare.”

“Because this data isn’t centralized, Chapter’s core function involves vacuuming up huge quantities of data about plans and then using artificial intelligence to organize it. Blumenfeld-Gantz borrowed the approach from Peter Thiel’s Palantir Technologies Inc., where he worked for six years in business development before starting Chapter. His customer service agents, known as advisers, use this database to help figure out which plan is best for a patient based on their medical history and their needs. The reps don’t know which plans pay referral fees and which don’t. “We recommend plans on which we earn no money every single day,” he says.”

Comments left by AfC reviewers

• Comment: This company has been the subject of multiple profiles that go well beyond describing routine business activities. The company has been of special interest partly because, as noted by multiple outlets including Bloomberg , The Information , and Fast Company , Chapter was funded by the VC firms of Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Al Gore. Medicare has been a highly politicized topic and the media sources note the company nonetheless attracted the support of opposite ends of the political spectrum.

• Comment: This just tells of the routine business activities and offerings of your company. A Wikipedia article must do more, it must summarize independent reliable sources with significant coverage- meaning critical analysis and commentary as to what is viewed as important/significant/influential about the company by others, not what it views as its own importance or a mere description of what it does. See WP:ORGDEPTH. Most companies on Earth do not actually meet the criteria to merit a Wikipedia article. 331dot (talk) 11:43, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
