Jenny Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Hera, a company that manages care for aging parents. She has spent her career building technology products in complex systems, from cloud infrastructure at Dropbox to expanding access to mental healthcare as a founding product manager at Headway. She studied computer science and business at the University of California, Berkeley, where she was selected as an Accel Scholar.
Jenny founded Hera after watching her aunt navigate her grandmother's dementia care largely alone - lost and overwhelmed. That experience made clear that the healthcare system has nothing built for families navigating arguably the most complex industry in the country, even as 11,000 Americans hit retirement age every day. Hera pairs dedicated care managers with an AI platform that ensures expert-level care at every step. The company is backed by Accel, IA Ventures, and BoxGroup.
Healthcare has solved for the hard part. The science, the surgery, the diagnosis: by global standards, we're exceptional. What we haven't solved for is what happens when the patient goes home.
