Rosemark Capital Closes First Deal

PRINCETON, N.J., May 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rosemark Capital, a new growth capital firm founded 'by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs,' announced today the closing of its first deal, leading the Series C Round for Jiff, a leading health technology company. Jiff's enterprise health benefits platform helps self-insured employers – including a range of Fortune 500 companies – reduce healthcare costs by leveraging the best digital health technology and services to deliver customized benefit programs to each employee. Other investors include GE Ventures, marking its first Jiff investment; Venrock Associates, Aberdare Partners and Aeris Capital. It is Rosemark Capital's first deal since its founding last year.

"We couldn't be more excited to lead this growth capital round for Jiff, which enables employers to offer employees choices and smart recommendations for improving their health," says Rosemark Founder and Managing Partner, Chris Kuenne. "Jiff is the leading platform in a space that's growing exponentially. I look forward to putting our personalized digital engagement experience to work to help Jiff's customers better engage employees. I see tremendous potential for Jiff to expand its already impressive customer base by offering a unique and effective employee engagement solution."

"Employers know they are spending a lot of money on health care and not getting healthier, happier employees in return – which has led to an explosion of new customers for our enterprise health benefits platform. We are thrilled to be working with Rosemark as we continue to grow," Derek Newell, Jiff CEO, says. "The opportunity to have the strategic enterprise selling and personalized marketing expertise of a firm like Rosemark, with individuals like Chris who've 'been there/done that', is invaluable."

"Jiff already engages employees at industry-setting rates. As the platform scales, GE Ventures is excited about the outcomes Jiff is poised to deliver in an increasingly value-based marketplace," said GE Ventures' Amy DuRoss, who will serve as a Board Observer. 

Jiff will use the funds to continue scaling Jiff's enterprise health benefits platform. The company is set to launch Jiff Navigator, a home screen for health benefits that enables employers to manage existing benefits, create custom programs, and demonstrate ROI through real-time data analytics.

Jiff is also building on its impressive customer roster that includes, inVentiv, Qualcomm, and Uber, among many other large self-insured employers. Jiff's customer base has grown by 500 percent since the start of 2014, and the number of employees eligible to use the Jiff platform has increased by a factor of ten during that period. Jiff itself has more than doubled its own workforce over the past year.
