About Sesame
We’re Sesame and we’re building a transformative health care platform that makes it easier and more affordable for all Americans to access high-quality health care. Our all-star team is primed for the journey of re-shaping American health care to put people like you and your family first. Unaffordable, hard-to-navigate health care is what keeps us up at night.
We believe everyone should be able to get high-quality care for a fair price. That’s why we work with doctors who share our vision of giving people a better way to get the care they need—without the stress, frustrations, and rip-offs of the current system.
We’re passionate about creating a new kind of health care economy that works for everyday people, and this is just the beginning. We’re proud to have teams across the U.S. and in Berlin and have raised nearly $100 million in funding to grow U.S. operations.
