The Future of Benefits Starts With You
When I started Onward, it was with a simple but important question: why should benefits depend on where you work?
For too long, access to healthcare, wellness, and financial support have been tied to traditional employment. If you change jobs, start something of your own, or get laid off, your benefits often disappear right when you need stability most. Even within full-time roles, as your life changes, updates to your benefits aren’t always easily and immediately available.
The way we work has changed. The systems around us haven’t.
So we built Onward to give you the power of clarity, choice, and continuity. Benefits should work with you, not against you, no matter where life takes you.
We began with a foundation of curated tools and partnerships to support your definition of success and wellness.
Here’s what you can explore today:
Core Health & Care Access: Mental-health support, telehealth, and preventative diagnostics through early partners like BetterHelp, Sesame, and Function Health.
Money & Work Resources: Curated guides for independents, from taxes and financial planning to navigating insurance and contract negotiation.
Member Perks: Exclusive discounts and special offers that support your personal version of wellness, productivity, and balance.
Community & Learning: A growing library of resources and stories to keep you informed and inspired.
And the best part? This is only the beginning. As we grow, we’ll keep adding new benefits and perks, guided by our mission to put you at the center of your benefits. Whether you’re freelancing full-time, between projects, or building something entirely new, Onward is designed to go and grow with you.
If you have thoughts on how we can make your experience better, I’d love to hear from you. Your feedback helps shape what we build next and ensures Onward always serves the people it was made for.
Welcome to the Onward community. I can’t wait to see how your membership helps you create more stability, freedom, and support in the way you live and work.
Onward,
Claire King
Founder & CEO
