Health isn’t just an industry. It’s the thing everything else depends on. The founders in this section are building companies at the intersection of healthcare, wellness, and the human body’s stubborn refusal to cooperate.
From digital health platforms to fitness brands to medical devices, the range is enormous. What connects these founders is a belief that the way things work now isn’t good enough. Healthcare is expensive, confusing, and weirdly resistant to improvement. These are people trying to change that, one company at a time.
These interviews dig into the unique challenges of building in health. Regulation. Clinical validation. The long timelines. The fact that “move fast and break things” is a terrible philosophy when the things in question are human bodies. It requires a different kind of founder. One with patience, domain expertise, and a tolerance for complexity.
You’ll find conversations about preventive health, mental wellness, nutrition, fitness technology, telemedicine, and the challenge of making healthy choices accessible to everyone. Not just people who can afford boutique everything. If you care about health, your own or other people’s, these conversations are worth your time.
