Bio

Ami is a Stanford-trained physician and ex-BCG consultant, turned Founder/CEO of Sika Health. She's on a mission to reinvent the way we pay for our health, starting by enabling merchants to accept HSA and HSA funds at checkout. At the age of six, Ami emigrated from Ghana with the dream of becoming a physician. In achieving that dream, she learned how broken the financial side of U.S. healthcare can be...The financial tools in healthcare were simply not built for consumers, and she believes this financial gap is what keeps us sick rather than helping us on our path towards proactive health. That's why Sika Health was born - to build a consumer-first payment company that helps us all afford our health needs. But instead of pulling out your credit card, Sika helps you save with your health plan as a form of payment, starting with your HSA or FSA funds! Sika's product is fully-integrated at checkout and allows you to easily spend your tax-free health funds as a form of payment, alone up to $360B in annual spend. Beyond the FSA/HSA market, Sika Health will unlock the trillions of dollars that health insurers and government programs allocate for consumer health (think EBT, OTC and DME benefits) but struggle to be spent. Ami has raised a $6.2m seed round from world-class investors including Forerunner Ventures and the co-founders of Plaid. And she's assembled a phenomenal team including the former payments engineers from commerce leader Etsy and advisors like former CTO of BNPL giant Klarna and former COO/CFO of pharmacy darling Pill Pack.
