Why Make the SHIFT?

Frustration

Employee frustration is rising. You, the employer, feel it too. Without real change, nothing gets better.

Out-of-control spend

Are you spending $20,000–$25,000 per employee annually on benefits? Are costs rising endlessly? Are you truly in control?

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER AND CEO

"Joining multiple startups after years as a benefits consultant was a real eye-opener. I realized that what I once considered normal was anything but. The system is intentionally complex, making it nearly impossible for most people to decipher what they’re paying for and who’s getting their money. It’s like someone else filled my shopping cart, wrapped it in brown paper, taped it shut, and handed me the bill—only for that bill to increase by 4%, 5%, 8%, or more every year! And when I finally unwrap it, I find items locked in packaging that requires tools I don’t have, making them nearly useless. That’s the reality of benefits today.


I founded ClearShift to put an end to this madness. My goal is to bring true transparency, affordability, and usability to employee benefits, ensuring employers and employees alike get real value—without the hidden costs and confusion."
