Andrew Headrick grew up locally in the Western suburbs of Minneapolis. He grew up in a large family with quadruplet younger siblings, which meant he spent ample time in primary care clinics and waiting rooms during his younger years. Andrew attended Middlebury College in Vermont, where he studied Economics and Chinese. He has held various roles professionally, at Medtronic, at a local hedge fund, and most recently at Piper Sandler, an investment bank, where he completed 13 healthcare transactions worth over $4.3B. It was during his time at Piper that he realized just how badly the healthcare system needed to change. Andrew founded Kavira Health nearly two years ago in an effort to make everyday healthcare more convenient, more cost-effective, and more accessible to all. Kavira has been doing just that – over the past year, Kavira has had thousands of patient interactions with a 9/10 patient rating, their patients have never paid a copay, nor have their patients ever had to leave their homes to receive care.
