Level

Offers employer-sponsored flexible benefits platform

Overview

Level provides a platform for employers to offer flexible benefit programs, such as education and medical travel funds, through commercial credit cards. Employees use these cards to spend their benefit allowances directly at the point of sale, which removes the need for manual reimbursement claims or out-of-pocket payments. Unlike traditional providers with rigid perk structures, Level allows businesses to customize spending categories while giving employees more freedom in how they use their funds. The company's goal is to increase employee satisfaction and retention by making benefits easier to access and manage through modern financial tools.

Employer.com Offers to Acquire Level: $30.8M Raised

Employer.com has offered to acquire fintech startup Level, which recently shut down after failing to find a buyer. Level, founded by Paul Aaron in 2018, had raised $30.8 million, including a $27 million Series A in April 2021. The offer is under legal review. This is Employer.com's second acquisition attempt in a week, following its offer for accounting startup Bench, which also abruptly closed, leaving customers without access to their accounts.
