James Vancel is the co-founder of Benny, a platform built to make the SSDI and SSI application process simpler and more efficient for disability advocates and the claimants they serve. Benny’s tools help firms streamline intake, reduce paperwork, and stay better connected with claimants throughout the claims process. Before founding Benny, James founded Busara, a behavioral design and research firm that partnered with governments and social-sector organizations to improve public benefits programs, leading teams that redesigned forms, application processes, and service delivery systems to make it easier for people to access the support they needed. His background in behavioral design and public benefits reform gives him a uniquely human-centered perspective on the challenges facing disability claimants and the practitioners who represent them.
