The JDB team explores the entire spectrum of your benefits needs and designs a package your startup company can be proud of. “Attracting and retaining the right kind of talent is critical in today’s competitive startups environment.

“We’re very pleased to be working with JDB and their stellar Startups Team,” said Brandon Corman, Managing Director of MLA. “JDB stands out from other benefits consultants because of their focus on the startup community and their attention to detail. JDB removes the burden of benefits administration; the feedback from startup employees regarding their support has always been excellent. They have partnered with us so that we can provide our group of startups with top notch benefits plans at costs that make sense for the businesses.”
