Caribou sits at the intersection of two of the most arguably complex industries: healthcare and finance. These two topics have been historically segregated even though:
Everyday, we see the positive impact that uniting these topics can have and we've made it our mission to simplify the process of planning for healthcare to build stronger financial futures.

Expenses tied to healthcare are often a surprise and there are very few solutions that allow for someone to proactively plan for key milestones and events where it's known that your healthcare costs can change, like when you retire or as you age. When I learned more about the financial planning industry, I was shocked to find that there were little to no healthcare cost optimization strategies for financial planning beyond generic cost estimators, despite healthcare being the top financial concern for the majority of Americans. At this crossroad, we found an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others: healthcare planning software that gives a custom analysis of clients’ current and future healthcare costs. This allows financial advisors to offer a truly comprehensive financial plan and, best of all, allows clients to achieve their retirement goals with confidence.
I'm proud to share that Caribou has grown from an idea to a mission that’s being championed every day by our employees, our investors, the national base of financial advising firms we work with, and, most importantly, their clients who are now able to plan for the future and navigate the healthcare system with peace of mind.
