Chapter, a Medicare advisory startup co-founded by former Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, has closed a $75 million funding round at a valuation of $1.5 billion led by private equity and venture firm Stripes.
The startup helps seniors choose Medicare health plans analyzing doctors, hospitals, and prescription drug coverage. Unlike many other Medicare insurance brokers, Chapter claims to prioritize client needs over insurer profits.
Naraya, the VC firm founded by Vice President J.D. Vance, led Chapter’s Series A round in 2020. Peter Thiel, who also invested in the company, assumed Vance’s board seat when Vance resigned to run for Senate in 2021.
While Thiel has since resigned from Chapter’s board, Democrat Donna Shalala, who served as Secretary of Health and Human Services during the Clinton administration and was later a U.S. Congresswoman, has filled the vacancy. Shalala told Bloomberg that Ramaswamy’s role and investments from Republicans Vance and Thiel were not an issue. “I don’t think of the company as political.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
