Cresso Health Adds Slate Financial in Medicare Distribution Push

Cresso Health, a technology-enabled insurance sales platform, said it has partnered with Slate Financial, a Southwest distributor of Medicare and health insurance products. Terms were not disclosed.

The deal expands Cresso's field presence as it builds an omni-channel distribution platform for the senior market, the company said. Cresso is backed by Cypress Ridge Capital, a New York-based healthcare investor.

Colin Pickel and Stephen Rivera, founders of Slate, said in a statement that Cresso "shares Slate's commitment to putting the customer first." They will join the Cresso team. Slate will gain access to Cresso's carrier relationships, proprietary marketing tools, and lead-generation technology, the company said.
