Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Nayya Health, Inc. operates an AI-driven employee benefits platform that combines data about employees' health and finances to help them select medical and supplemental insurance plans, file claims, and manage financial products such as 401(k)s and personal finances. The platform provides personalized decision support during open enrollment, new-hire onboarding, and qualifying life events, and continues year-round with guidance on claims filing, spending accounts, and prescription optimization (Forbes; company materials).

The company positions its current offering as an "agentic" benefits adviser that not only recommends actions but executes them on the employee's behalf — filing claims, enrolling in programs, and handling appeals — and delivers this through channels employees already use, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, and iMessage, as well as integrations with HRIS and benefits administration systems. Nayya markets separate value propositions to employees, employers and PEOs (reduced HR workload, utilization insight for renewals), and ecosystem partners such as carriers and brokers. The company states compliance with HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, CCPA, and NIST 800 standards.

In September 2025 Nayya acquired Northstar, a fintech startup, and launched what it describes as an agentic AI health-and-wealth "SuperAgent"; Forbes reports the acquisition extended Nayya's reach to financial advisors."/**/

Founding story

Nayya was founded by Sina Chehrazi and Akash Magoon in 2019 and is headquartered in New York, NY, according to company press materials; the company's about page instead references a founding in 2020. Forbes states Chehrazi is a Georgetown Law graduate who worked at fintech company Enigma before starting Nayya.

Business model

Nayya sells its benefits platform to employers and PEOs and distributes through ecosystem partners including insurance carriers, benefits administrators, brokerages, and payroll processors. Forbes notes that most of its users come through partnerships with companies such as ADP.

Enterprise software sold to employers and distributed via partners; Forbes reports the company exceeded $30 million in annual revenue in 2025. Specific pricing terms are not disclosed in the sources.

Traction

Company materials cite 3M+ employees served nationwide on the homepage and 5M+ humans served on the about page, plus 300+ data sources and $130M+ raised. Reported outcome metrics (from Nayya 2024 participation data) include a 46% reduction in benefits-related HR questions, 87% of users reporting better benefits understanding, $5,000-$10,000 average supplemental health claim payouts, and a 13% potential increase in migration to narrow-network plans. Forbes reports more than $30 million in annual revenue and nearly one million users in 2025.

Latest developments

On September 10, 2025 Nayya announced the acquisition of Northstar alongside the launch of an agentic AI health and wealth benefits "SuperAgent." In July 2025 it announced an Advisory Board of Governors with members from Modern Health, Morgan Stanley, herronpalmer and JP Morgan. Forbes (updated February 2026) reports that Sina Chehrazi stepped down as CEO in January 2026 to become executive chair and that Sarah Liebel became CEO.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

Forbes describes Nayya as feeding health and financial data into AI software for benefits decisions and lists total funding of $130 million and a PitchBook-reported valuation of $515 million as of January 2022. At the time of its 2022 Series C the company reported 7x revenue growth in 2021 and described itself as among the fastest-growing digital health and benefits companies in the US.

Nayya emphasizes agentic execution — taking actions such as filing claims and handling appeals on employees' behalf — rather than only providing recommendations, joint optimization of health and financial benefits, delivery inside existing work channels rather than standalone portals, and a large proprietary benefits dataset built from hundreds of integrated data sources.

Technology

An AI and machine-learning platform built on what the company calls an Employee Data Platform and BenefitsIQ, drawing on 300+ data sources and over 20 million employee data points, billions of consumer data points, millions of rows of claims data, and thousands of data integrations. Functions span anticipatory nudges, personalized guidance, and agentic execution of tasks such as claims filing and enrollment, delivered inside Slack, Teams, iMessage and other work tools.

Go-to-market

Direct sales to employers and PEOs (demo requests and information forms on the site) combined with channel distribution through insurance carriers, benefits administrators, brokers, and payroll providers. Earlier materials cite customers and partners including Guardian, Unum, American Public Life, benefits administrator Selerix, dozens of national employers, and alliances with several of the ten largest US brokerage firms including Acrisure's voluntary benefits division; Forbes cites ADP as a partner channel.

Employers, PEOs, and their employees, plus ecosystem partners such as insurance carriers, benefits administrators, and brokerages. Named employer references on the site include the City of Bullhead and AcutePet Urgent Care.

Geography

Headquartered in New York, New York, United States, serving employees nationwide across the US.

History

After its 2019 founding, Nayya raised an $11M Series A led by Felicis Ventures with Social Leverage, Guardian Life, Cameron Ventures and Unum Business Ventures participating, followed by a $37M Series B and a $55M Series C led by ICONIQ Growth announced March 2022, bringing total funding to $106M at that time. Sarah Liebel joined in late 2024 and became CEO in January 2026, when co-founder Sina Chehrazi stepped down as CEO and became executive chair. Co-founder and CTO Akash Magoon left the company in 2022. In September 2025 Nayya acquired Northstar and launched its agentic AI benefits product, and in July 2025 it formed an Advisory Board of Governors.

Risks & controversies

Sources note internal inconsistency on founding year (2019 in press releases and Forbes versus 2020 on the about page) and on user scale (3M+ versus 5M+ served on different company pages; Forbes cites nearly one million users). The last reported valuation date is January 2022 despite subsequent funding. The company also cites research that one in two employees received incorrect benefits advice from non-purpose-built AI, indicating accuracy risk in the category.
