Overalls
Overalls is a New York-based benefits company that gives every employee a dedicated LifeConcierge - a real human expert amplified by AI - to handle the personal to-do list that piles up during the workday, from booking childcare and navigating a medical bill to planning a trip or dealing with home repairs. Founded in 2021 by insurtech veteran Jon Cooper at venture studio Redesign Health, Overalls pairs concierge services with financial-protection products under the thesis that reducing life's off-the-clock stress makes people more focused and productive at work. It sells to employers as a supplemental benefit and counts Reddit, Patreon, Coterie and BeatBox Beverages among its customers.
