I took a shot in the dark and reached out to the co founder of a company that I am interested in (we had a few mutual connections) and asked if they are looking for help in shopper marketing. The co founder replied and wanted to call me and it went really well and had a second call today with the other co founders wife. They remind me a lot of a company I used to work for; very passionate and mission driven. They are considered a startup as they were founded in 2021 but she said they are in between so they aren’t brand new and they aren’t mature yet. She asked me what compensation I am looking for and if January time frame worked for me in terms of start date. Curious to know feedback and opinion on pursuing this. I think it could be a great experience but not sure about working with a small budget and if startups have good health insurance.

You were speaking with the founder's wife? They seem to be family run so I'd be careful.
Startups that are 3 years old should have had a couple of rounds of funding by now (I'm not talking about Angel Investors). So if they are well funded , insurance is the least of your worries.
I would concentrate on where they are on executing their business plan, what round of funding they are on, what their plan is for hiring staff, etc.
Yes you will have a small budget, yes you will be lucky to receive benefits, yes you need to ask a bunch more questions. Startups are fun, lots if work and rewarding. They can also be a waste of time, ego driven and dysfunctional.
