Gyde Acquires Avid Health to Launch AI-Enabled Brokerage Platform Across Medicare Markets
Leading Medicare Agency Joins Gyde, Combining Proven Expertise with AI-Enabled Operational Support to Accelerate Growth
Gyde, the next-generation, AI-native brokerage platform, announced it has acquired Avid Health, the top-rated Medicare agency in Palm Beach, FL. Gyde is empowering a new generation of elite brokers to serve as comprehensive, trusted guides across insurance, wealth, and health. The company combines advanced AI technology with experienced operating teams to help top agencies like Avid Health deliver higher-quality advice, deepen client relationships, and grow lifetime value at scale.
This news marks the company’s first partner announcement since Gyde’s recent public launch with $60 million in funding led by Lightspeed. Avid Health has spent years helping Medicare beneficiaries, especially those aging into Medicare, navigate the complexity of Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D coverage. Their licensed agents deliver personalized, ongoing guidance across the full arc of a client’s Medicare journey—from initial plan selection through annual reviews—with an emphasis on education, access, and trusted relationships built over time. They offer a wide range of additional products to serve clients’ insurance, wealth, and health needs.
“Avid Health represents exactly the kind of agency we built Gyde to partner with,” said Will Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO at Gyde. “They’ve spent years earning the trust of Medicare beneficiaries through genuine expertise and consistent service. Our job is to give their team the infrastructure and tools to grow faster without changing what makes them exceptional. We remain bullish on the future of the Medicare market and look forward to partnering with leading agencies like Avid Health.”
As part of the acquisition, Avid Health’s brokers gain access to Gyde’s proprietary platform, including GydeOS and Gia. GydeOS is Gyde’s broker-facing operating system, giving agents the tools to dramatically grow their book of business, identifying coverage gaps and cross-sell opportunities that strengthen retention and meet important health and financial needs. Gia, Gyde’s intelligent assistant, works alongside brokers by proactively reaching out to clients via SMS and voice to deliver timely reminders and coverage updates, scheduling appointments, and answering routine questions on the broker’s behalf.
“I have watched Will and Sam work over the past two years, and from our first conversation, I knew this team was different. They’re sharp, forward-thinking, and have a clear track record of building and scaling businesses the right way, which I’ve witnessed firsthand. What really stood out to me was their grasp on the numbers—not just financial projections, but how to turn strategy into real growth. More than anything, I trusted their vision and felt aligned with the way they move: fast, focused, and with purpose,” said Gerrick Diaz, Founder of Avid Health.
The acquisition reflects Gyde’s conviction that Medicare Advantage remains a critical product for seniors and commitment to support the brokers who serve this market in novel, previously unprecedented ways…
