About Zentist
Dental insurance plans are notoriously complicated. Policy agreements are difficult for consumers to understand and for providers to service and manage. We started Zentist because we believe neither consumers nor providers should struggle with the complexity of understanding and utilizing dental plans. At Zentist, we are developing billing technology between dental offices and insurance companies that abstracts away all the complexity of billing and collecting insurance.
We’re located in the heart of San Francisco and we’re backed by leading investment firms including Costanoa Ventures, Point Nine Capital, and Fika Ventures. We would like to build our core team at a foundational point in the company to help us build a category-defining product for the long-term.
At Zentist, we promote a productive and collaborative culture. We work hard, have fun, and treat people with respect. Our benefits include a competitive salary and equity package, a culture of learning and development, and more!
Zentist is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
