Lessons from Afia Asamoah and Dr. Sanjay Basu, Co-founders of Waymark, on differentiated, effective care models for Medicaid

This episode is part of Pear VC's series on Medicaid, covering the basics that founders need to know to build innovations that support communities in need.

Today, we're excited to get to know Afia Asamoah and Dr. Sanjay Basu. Afia is the Head of Legal and People and Sanjay is the Head of Clinical of Waymark, a value-based primary care enabler for Medicaid.

Founded in 2021, Waymark has raised $87M in funding to date from investors such as Lux Capital, CVS Health Ventures, Andreesen Horowitz and NEA. The company is pioneering in the healthcare space by offering tech-enabled, community-based services to Medicaid beneficiaries, ensuring they receive top-notch care and support.

In this episode, we learn about Waymark’s differentiated, research-backed, care model for Medicaid and a thoughtful approach to cost-effectiveness that is consistent with the interests of low-income patients.
