👋
I'm Derek Flanzraich, a mission-driven business leader passionate about making health accessible and affordable for everyone.Along with incredible teams, I built Greatist into the largest health & wellness media site on the Internet for millennials, reaching 10-20M unique visitors per month through fact-checked, shareable health & wellness content (acquired by Healthline/Red Ventures in 2019). I also built a health-first credit card company from scratch with Ness (unfortunately shut down in 2023.)
Healthyish
Currently, I'm involved in various projects through my personal holding company of sorts called Healthyish.This includes:Healthyish Content, a premium content marketing & SEO agency
for health companies
Healthyish Ventures, where I occasionally support founders committed to the same accessible health & healthcare mission
Healthyish Advisory, which offers growth, strategy, and marketing consulting & advisory
for health companies.I also write a weekly newsletter called 5HT (5 Healthyish Things), where 50K+ readers hear what I feel strongly about in health.

Along the way, I've had the privilege of consulting, advising, and/or investing in amazing companies like Galileo Health, GoodRx, Bobbie, Midi, Parsley, Oshi, Elion, Allara, Elektra, Hone, First Dollar, Certify, Particle, Photon, Ours Privacy, Two Front, Guaranteed, Monument, Recess, Sanzo, NOCD, Ro, Kindbody, Plunge, Peloton, OpenAI, and Anthropic to name a few. I'm an active Venture Partner at Lakehouse Ventures and LP at Everywhere Ventures.Follow me on Twitter, on LinkedIn, and read some of my longer-form writing on Medium, including a time I got six-pack abs in six weeks and hated it.I live in Austin, Texas with my wife, dog named King Arthur, and I'm a proud Girl Dad of two. I love theme parks and theme bars. And I once performed on Broadway in drag, but who hasn't right?
