Exclusive: Zorro clinches $20M Series A for ICHRA health plans
Health benefits provider Zorro raised $20 million in Series A funding led by Entrée Capital, CEO Guy Ezekiel tells Axios exclusively. Why it matters: As employers wrestle with rising health plan costs, individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements (ICHRAs) are gaining steam. Driving the news: Launched in 2020, ICHRAs were enabled by a Trump-era rule letting employers reimburse employees tax-free for individual health insurance instead of offering group plans. After a slow start, rule clarifications and compliance tools made them more accessible to midsized employers. Follow the money: Existing backers Pitango and 10D joined the round, which will be used to scale operations and improve support for employers. The Series A brings Zorro to $31.5 million total raised. The company is not yet profitable. How it works: New York City-based Zorro replaces traditional group plans with defined-contribution models. Employers set a budget; employees use Zorro's AI engine to select personalized plans, and brokers get real-time tools to compare group plans versus ICHRA-based options. When it onboards an employer, Zorro asks them to send their benefits roster from the previous year, asks about quality and budget priorities for the upcoming year, and helps predict what benefits employees might want next. Zorro has "several thousand" lives on the platform, per Ezekiel. Between the lines: Zorro's pitch hinges not just on cost control but on its ability to shift complex decision-making from HR to software — claiming that 75% of users enroll without human help. What they're saying: "We're giving the employer a line of sight to how his upcoming year is going to look," says Ezekiel. Reality check: While ICHRAs are gaining traction, they remain a small fraction of the employer market. Zorro's long-term success depends on widespread broker adoption and employee trust in AI-led benefit decisions. State of play: A February Bailey's report predicted the debut of several new ICHRA startups in 2025. Several others have secured recent funding. In April, Thatch raised $40 million in Series B funding led by Index Ventures and Venteur Health Insurance raised a $20 million Series A led by Informed Ventures and American Family Ventures. Remodel Health last December collected more than $100 million in a round led by Oak HC/FT and Hercules Capital.

Fast-casual food places conquering Midtown as workers return to office
Fast-casual food spots are fast conquering Midtown to fill long-empty storefronts — buoyed by more office workers returning to their desks five days a week. The boom includes not only familiar names such as Pret a Manger and Sweetgreen, but also brands new to New York. 'Coming soon' signs just went up in the windows of 40 W. 53rd St. for Farmer J, a UK-based, health-focused chain with 11 locations in London and expanding to the U.S. for the first time. Pollo Campero, which its broker, Meridian Retail Leasing president James Famularo, called 'the Chick-fil-A of Guatemala,' was unknown here until it opened at 966 Sixth Ave. and at 714 Lexington Ave. about a year ago. Famularo also brought Springbone Kitchen, a bone broth operation, to 25 E. 51st where he represented the landlord. 3 British health-focused chain Farmer J will open its first store in the U.S. at 714 Lexington Ave Steve Cuozzo Landlords and retail brokers attribute the boom to the return of five-day office workweeks for many employees. 'A lot of this is a function of people returning five days a week, and major companies believe Midtown and the Financial District are viable again,' said Patrick A. Smith, vice chairman of retail brokerage for JLL. Five-day work schedules are crucial to casual food businesses because, Smith explained, 'They mostly have to survive on one meal a day — lunch. They can't do it on only three days a week.' Famularo agreed, saying, 'The big story is that people are back in the offices. This is after years of hearing the city will never be back to five days a week, which was the biggest impediment we found when we showed midtown spaces.' CBRE's Henry Rossignol, who represented Joe & the Juice in its latest lease at 1195 Sixth Ave., also attributed operators' confidence to data they get from delivery services such as Uber Eats and Door Dash, 'which tells them exactly where the demand is at a particular location.' The newest Joe is right across from the next outpost of Naya, the popular Middle Eastern chain that's gobbling up storefronts everywhere. 3 Joe & the Juice at 1195 Sixth Ave. Steve Cuozzo Cushman & Wakefield's Steven Soutenidjk, who represented Carrot Express in its lease at 600 Lexington Ave. two years ago, said the corner location is the Florida-based chain's best performer. He said as a result of the fast-casual spread, 'There's basically no space available for any more between Lexington and Seventh avenues,' Soutenidkj said. Some of the new arrivals are taking over spaces that were dark for years. A bagel operation called Scoop is coming to previously vacant 7 E. 53rd St. Also new to the scene are Yumpling, a Taiwanese spot at 16 E. 52nd St.; British coffee-and-snacks chain WatchHouse, which just signed a lease at the Chrysler Building on the heels of its success at 660 Fifth Ave.; and Bagizza, a pizza-and-bagels hybrid at 424 Madison Ave. 3 Bagel shop Scoop will open at 7 E. 53rd Street. Steve Cuozzo Asking rents vary a lot depending on location. But most brokers said they range in Midtown from $150 to $300 per square foot. After years of struggling with a shrunken retail-space markets, landlords are thrilled that fast-casual is helping take up the slack. 'The tides are finally turning,' Famularo said. 'What was a glut of inventory, now is slowly disappearing every week.'
