Athena is on a mission to make healthcare accessible and affordable, through innovative payment systems. Quality healthcare is unaffordable for close to 80% of South Africans; even for the minority on medical aid, they are faced with increasing premiums, decreasing medical savings and therefore they have to spend more out-of-pocket for healthcare. Athena has created and launched an instalment payment solution, that allows patients to split their medical bill into monthly instalments, allowing them to get the care they need now and pay for it later. This means healthcare providers can broaden their patient base, without worrying about the risk of payment collection. We are young, early stage, venture-backed, and determined to change how everyone pays for healthcare. We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Co-Founder who shares our vision of making healthcare affordable and accessible. As a co-founder, you will be joining a team of two full-time employees, a loyal and growing customer base of healthcare providers and patients, and a committed number of partners who also share Athena’s vision.
