$4 Million Supports Angle Health’s Mission

An MBA/MPH graduate of California State University Northridge and UCLA, Andy Leeka previously spent 24 years as president and CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital in downtown Los Angeles. Andy Leeka currently leads San Francisco-based Angle Health as president.

A fully licensed health insurance carrier that provides tech-enabled health plans for startups, Angle Health announced in May 2020 that it had closed more than $4 million in a Series Seed funding round. Led by Blumberg Capital and with contributions from investors including Y Combinator and Correlation Ventures, the funding supports Angle’s mission to utilize efficient technology in the delivery of relevant health plans to modern startup employees.

Specifically, the seed money helps fund regulatory filings, expand Angle’s member platform, and launch a mobile application. Angle Health is continually working to integrate infrastructure to broaden access to primary and urgent care, chronic disease management, reproductive health, and mental healthcare. The company seeks to meet the unique needs of startups by digitizing rate quoting in minutes, enrollment, and on-boarding members to reduce enrollment timelines. Angle partnered with technology company Noyo to facilitate and reduce the burden of this back-end connection between health insurers and employers.
