Welcome to Onward: A New Era of Benefits
We’re entering a new chapter in the world of work, one where independence, creativity, and autonomy are driving the future forward. But while more people than ever are choosing to freelance, consult, or build their own businesses, our systems haven’t caught up.
Essential benefits like healthcare, mental health support, and career resources are still designed around traditional employment. This leaves millions of people navigating a maze of high costs, confusing options, and tradeoffs on their own.
That’s where Onward comes in.
A Different Kind of Benefits Platform
We’re building a new kind of benefits membership. Onward is designed for independent workers, by people who know what it’s like to be one. Whether you’re a freelancer, solopreneur, gig worker, or someone searching for alternative options, Onward is here to help you access the care, tools, and resources you deserve, no matter how your work is classified and no matter who wins an election.
We believe:
Healthcare is a human right, not a corporate perk.
Your access to care shouldn’t depend on who wins an election or what tax form you file.
You shouldn’t have to choose between freedom and stability.
Onward is designed to fill the gaps the system left behind and to do it with transparency, empathy, and flexibility at the core.
What You’ll Find Here
We’re starting small and focused, but we have big ambitions. As we grow, you’ll find:
Wellness and care partners that actually make sense for your lifestyle
Curated resources to help you navigate everything from healthcare to career growth
Stories from real independent workers about how they’re building lives and careers on their own terms
And as we grow, new ways to make care, support, and stability more accessible
This blog will be our home base for stories, updates, and resources designed just for you.
What’s Next
We’re just getting started and that’s what makes this so exciting.
If you're looking for a more supportive path forward, you’re in the right place.
If you believe in this mission and want to help us grow, we’d love to hear from you.
If you just want to follow along as we build, welcome.
Sign up to be part of our community. Share Onward with someone you know so they don’t have to do it alone anymore. And stay tuned for what's ahead.
🌿 Onward,
Claire King
Founder & CEO
