A 0→1 launch that made a new health category credible.

Challenge

A pre-launch health company with world-class clinical thinking, a small founding team, and no product, brand or GTM story yet in the market.

Context

Four founders, three markets to enter, one narrow window before a well-funded incumbent moved into the same space.

Thinking

0→1 isn't about picking the right feature. It is about compressing narrative, product and hiring into a single decision the founders can live behind for five years.

Approach

Ran a compressed 0→1: naming, narrative, identity, MVP scope, launch plan, hiring bar. Stayed on as advisor through the seed round.

Execution

Sixteen weeks, one launch across three markets, one seed round closed on the narrative we shipped together, and a first cohort of customers inside the first six weeks.

Impact

Launched into three markets, closed a $6.5M seed round on the narrative, and now serves as a category reference for peer companies.
