BOCA RATON, Fla., March 8, 2017 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) –- LevelFunded Health is excited to announce that it was recently selected as one of the new top innovative insurance businesses by one of Silicon Valley’s most active venture group, Plug and Play.

The selection process is vigorous. It begins with 1,000 companies and is then narrowed down to a final 25. Selection criteria are based on factors such as high growth, past proof of concept, current industry traction and products with the potential to be disruptive.
“This is not only a great honor for us, but an amazing opportunity as well.
