Mon Ami
Mon Ami is a San Francisco software company building a cloud-based operating system for the aging and disability services sector - the agencies, nonprofits, and state units that quietly hold up America's care infrastructure. Its platform replaces decades-old databases and spreadsheets with a HIPAA-compliant system for case management, programs, billing, and reporting.

A Stanford MBA who has volunteered in hospice and dementia care since high school, Zhang co-founded Mon Ami in 2018 after interviewing 150+ seniors and caregivers to understand what the system was missing. Today Mon Ami is used by government agencies and nonprofits across the US, helping them replace manual paperwork with automation - so their staff can focus on care instead of administrative burden. The company has raised over $12M and grown to 180 employees, making it one of the most visible startups in the aging-services technology space.
