Nava Benefits, a US-based employee benefits and healthcare technology provider, has unveiled HQ, an AI-powered platform designed to simplify benefits administration for HR teams.
The launch coincides with the closing of the company’s $30m Series C funding round, led by Thrive Capital.
The investment was spearheaded by Thrive Capital, with additional participation from Glynn Capital, GV, Quiet Capital, Gaingels, People Tech Partners, Fenwick, Alumni Ventures, and Pascal Ventures.
The new capital positions Nava to expand its reach and accelerate product innovation in the rapidly evolving employee benefits technology sector.
The new HQ platform aims to remove administrative burdens for HR professionals by combining quoting, benchmarking, demographics and analytics into a unified experience.
The HQ platform replaces traditional spreadsheets and email-based processes with a single command centre, enabling real-time contribution modelling and cost analysis.
Users can access a mobile app that provides 24/7 AI-powered support and centralised, searchable benefits documentation.
The platform also integrates built-in compliance tools that flag errors and monitor deadlines, ensuring SOC 2 Type II certification and HIPAA compliance for enterprise-grade security.
“American healthcare is broken,” Nava co-founder and CEO Brandon Weber said. “Nava was founded to fix a healthcare system that overwhelms HR teams and underserves employees. The launch of HQ, the first platform to unite AI with deep benefits expertise, marks a true inflection point for us and for the industry.”
With this new funding, we can accelerate our mission and help HR teams take control of the largest investment behind their people.

HQ customer Heerva Macwan, VP of HR at Hackman Capital Partners, said, “HQ frees me from day-to-day admin so I can focus on delivering better employee experience.”
Lena Bradshaw, VP of HR at Caltrol, added, “No more digging for answers. HQ gives us instant answers to our benefit questions—and saves hours.”
Matthew Burns, director of people operations at Job&Talent, said, “HQ is everything we love about the Nava partnership, but on-demand.”
“AI is reshaping the way work gets done across every industry, and HR professionals deserve modern, intelligent tools to match the moment,” Nava co-founder and Thrive Capital partner Kareem Zaki said.
Nava is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation and we’re excited to help accelerate their progress in revolutionising benefits administration for the better.
Nava has seen strong growth in recent years, reporting a 160% year-on-year increase in customer logos, more than 70,000 members served, and a lifetime NPS of 89.
