Benefits Influencer

Dennis chats with Ty Wang, Co-Founder & CEO of Angle Health [https://www.anglehealth.com/]. Angle Health wants to make health benefits more accessible by connecting vendors that handle different services like telehealth and health savings accounts on a single platform. That way, employers of all sizes can offer a similar stack to the benefits you’d expect from a Fortune 500, but tailored for small to medium-sized businesses. Ty Wang is the Co-Founder and CEO of Angle Health, the digital-first, fully-licensed health insurance platform. Before founding Angle Health in 2019, Ty was at Palantir, where he met his co-founder Anirban Gangopadhyay. Before moving into the tech space, he spent seven years working for the US Government in Field Operations and as Foreign Liaison Officer. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, as well as a Bachelor’s in Systems Engineering, from Washington University in St. Louis. He splits his time between Salt Lake City and Denver. More info at https://www.anglehealth.com/ [https://www.anglehealth.com/] https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyw/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyw/]
