Dr. Ami Kumordzie is an impressive founder. She's a Stanford-trained MD/MBA and is building a fintech marketplace backed by Silicon Valley's top investors to help us all tap into $8B of health benefits that go unused each year. Ami tells us why she's building Sika, how to claim these funds, and gives advice to founders on fundraising as well as the routines that keep her operating at peak performance. What a juggernaut of a CEO.
