ACME Partner Aike Ho was featured in Outstanding Voices 2022.
San Francisco Business Times
Aike, also spoke on a panel discussion at Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech 2022, where investors discussed what’s next for healthcare as funding slows, and explored the value of direct-to-consumer tools.
"I'm still a huge proponent of direct-to-consumer because, in some ways, I think direct-to-consumer companies yield much better products for the patients. I think it's easy to get away with a bad product when you're selling to employers. Because you're getting paid by the employer, while the customers, the patients who are using it, the employees, don't really have a say or accountability in the product itself."
- Aike Ho, Partner, ACME
