Company profile
researched Aug 2026Betterfly is an insurtech and employee benefits platform that combines insurance coverage with gamified wellness and rewards. Employers use a single administration portal to manage insurance plans and benefits, adjust monthly subscriptions, integrate HR management tools, and access reporting on platform usage, employee health habits and ESG metrics. Employees use a mobile app offering personalized coverage, daily missions and challenges, points earned for healthy actions, discounts, gift cards and experiences, social/community features and an internal communication channel. Healthy habits also translate into donations to partner NGOs, a mechanic the company brands as the 'Betterfly Effect'.
The U.S. proposition is positioned around converting voluntary insurance into year-round engagement. It consists of an employer-paid Core bundle (two lab panels plus a biological age assessment, an AI health agent, no-cost group life described as 'Dynamic Coverage', missions and rewards, marketplace access, and HRIS, payroll and HSA/FSA administration) and voluntary tiers covering health and longevity services (GLP-1 programs, microdose peptide protocols, additional diagnostic panels, supplements, sleep and recovery, cognitive and longevity offerings) and insurance benefits (group and supplemental life, accident and critical illness, hospital indemnity, dental and vision, short- and long-term disability, supplemental health). Coverage is marketed as guaranteed-issue from day one with no medical exams, and includes preventive health features such as 68+ biomarkers and labs, physician consultation, AI-driven risk detection and a personalized health roadmap.
Internal records indicate Betterfly sells employee benefits and insurance products in Mexico, including life insurance and dental insurance offerings.
Founding story
Sources state Betterfly was founded in 2018 in Santiago, Chile by Eduardo della Maggiora, a Chilean industrial engineer (graduated 2004) and Ironman triathlete who began his career at J.P. Morgan, volunteered as a teacher in Moshi, Tanzania in 2014, and previously founded Tyndall Group and Preserve in Community. Seedtable also lists Cristobal della Maggiora as a co-founder.
Business model
Betterfly sells a subscription-based digital platform to employers, which configure a catalog of insurance and benefits from which employees choose. In Latin America and Europe the offer combines personalized insurance plans, gamified wellness, rewards and administrative tooling managed from a company portal with monthly subscriptions that can be modified or cancelled. In the U.S. the model is structured as an employer-paid 'Core' bundle plus voluntary health/longevity and insurance products purchased at group rates, distributed in part through brokers who receive a dedicated portal, pipeline and commission visibility, onboarding support and co-marketing.
Revenue derives from employer subscriptions to the benefits platform and from insurance and benefits products sold through it, including voluntary/supplemental products purchased by employees at group rates. Sources do not disclose actual revenue; Seedtable publishes only an estimated range of $54M–$150M.
Traction
Company-reported figures state more than 2,000 enterprise clients across Latin America and Europe, presence in 8 countries, 86% of employees valuing the experience within their first 30 days, 1 in 2 employees taking an action to improve their health within the app, and 44% making it a consistent monthly habit. Seedtable lists approximately 300 employees and $213.0M raised across six recorded funding rounds from 15 investors.
Latest developments
As of the sources fetched, Betterfly is marketing a U.S. launch, describing itself as proven with 2,000+ enterprise clients across Latin America and Europe and recruiting broker pilot partners. Seedtable's profile (updated July 2026) lists the company as active with 300 employees, $213.0M total funding, Series C as the latest stage, and records an acquisition of Minu for $100 million dated 15 June 2026.

Market position
Betterfly describes itself as the number one protection and benefits platform in Latin America, present in 8 countries and used by more than 2,000 enterprise clients across Latin America and Europe. Third-party sources describe it as a leading Latin American insurtech, the region's first B Corp certified unicorn and the third Chilean unicorn after Cornershop and NotCo, and rank it among the top startups in Chile and in the insurance category.
Betterfly positions itself as combining insurance, wellness and engagement in one platform rather than separate tools, with coverage employees select themselves from an employer-configured catalog, guaranteed-issue enrollment without forms or medical exams, flexible monthly administration, premium discounts and rewards tied to healthy behavior, preventive health data included at no extra cost, and reporting on adoption, utilization, engagement and ESG. A further differentiator claimed is the social-impact mechanic converting employees' healthy habits into NGO donations, alongside B Corp certification cited in Series C coverage.
Technology
A web administration portal for employers and a mobile app for employees, featuring gamification (missions, challenges, points, team rankings), rewards and a marketplace, social and real-time communication tools, analytics on adoption, utilization, engagement and ESG, and integrations with HR management systems and, in the U.S., HRIS, payroll and HSA/FSA administration. The U.S. offering also cites an AI health agent, AI-driven risk detection, biological age assessment and lab/biomarker panels feeding a personalized health roadmap.
Go-to-market
Betterfly sells business-to-business to employers and HR teams, using demo requests and direct contact with sales specialists on its websites, supported by content marketing (blog, webinars, ebooks). In the U.S. it additionally runs a broker channel with a pilot partner program offering dedicated onboarding and sales support, priority access to a Broker Portal, co-marketing and a broker resource toolkit; brokers can quote multiple products, monitor enrollment in real time and track pipeline and commissions in one portal.
Employers and HR teams of all sizes seeking employee benefits, insurance and wellness programs, their employees as end users, and, in the U.S., insurance brokers who distribute the products to client companies.
Geography
The company states it is present in 8 countries and describes itself as the leading protection and benefits platform in Latin America. Its site lists offices in Chile (Av. Apoquindo 4800, Las Condes, Santiago) and Mexico (Periférico Blvd. Manuel Ávila Camacho 201, Polanco, Mexico City). Seedtable lists Santiago, Chile as headquarters. Series C coverage cited existing operations in Chile and Brazil with announced expansion into Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, the United States, Portugal and Spain, and plans for a global hub in Miami. A dedicated U.S. site markets the platform to American employers and brokers.
History
According to Seedtable, Betterfly was founded in 2018 in Santiago, Chile by Eduardo della Maggiora, with Cristobal della Maggiora listed as co-founder. It raised a $17.5 million Series A led by QED Investors in December 2020, a $60 million Series B in June 2021 led by DST Global (bringing equity raised to $80 million), and a $125 million Series C in February 2022 led by Glade Brook Capital at a $1 billion post-money valuation — making it, per contemporaneous coverage, the third Chilean unicorn and the first Latin American B Corp certified company valued above $1 billion. At the time of the Series C the company operated in Chile and Brazil and announced plans to open in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica during 2022 and in the United States, Portugal and Spain in 2023, along with a global hub in Miami. Seedtable also records an acquisition of Minu valued at $100 million dated June 2026.
Risks & controversies
The sources contain no reports of controversies. Data limitations are notable: revenue figures are third-party estimates, the listed 2026 acquisition of Minu is reported only by an aggregator, and headcount and funding recency data come from a single aggregated profile. One retrieved source describing a 'Betterfly' acquired by TakeLessons in 2014 (an education company backed by Chicago Ventures) refers to a different company and was excluded.
