Every morning, 11,000 Americans wake up and begin their first day of retirement. While retirement should be an exciting, empowering, and fulfilling part of one’s life, the reality today is that retirement brings along with it a fundamentally new set of challenges that make it an overwhelming time for many.
At Chapter, we believe that the current infrastructure for retirement is broken, and we’re on a mission to fix it. We’ve started by building industry leading technology to solve the first major obstacle in retirement: navigating Medicare (healthcare coverage for retirees over 65). Our products help seniors sign up, choose an insurance plan, and leverage their plan after they are enrolled. And, unlike most Medicare advisors who only search plans that pay them, Chapter searches every Medicare option nationwide. This allows us to find savings and benefits that others miss.
But our ambition doesn’t stop with Medicare — we seek to transform the way that Americans navigate and experience retirement. If this sounds exciting to you, we’d love to speak with you.

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
Here at Chapter, we aim to help seniors not only navigate the complexities of Medicare, but also to transform the way seniors transition into and experience retirement. This is not easy, and no one else has succeeded at this endeavor. For us to achieve this mission, we have to have a deeply shared understanding of who we are and who we strive to be. We’re building team of exceptional of humans, and Chapter’s culture is built on four pillars:
Put Members First
-We relentlessly pursue opportunities to improve the lives of our members, above all else
Real Transparency, Not the Buzzword
-We share as much information and context as possible to help arm Chapterians with what they need to make their own decisions about their work
Invest in Each Other
- We believe each Chapterian has a responsibility to not only collaborate and communicate effectively, but to help those they work closely with learn and grow during their time here
Ownership Without Ego
- We think about problems from an end-to-end perspective with a strong bias to action. We are not afraid to admit when something doesn’t work and learn from that experience
Why Work With Us
A core part of our culture is the belief that every person invests in helping each other learn and grow during their time at Chapter. This isn’t just a company with a once a year review serving as the only time you receive feedback — we aim to create opportunities and an environment where small and big moments provide meaningful opportunities.
