Join us on November 20 for a virtual fireside chat with<\/strong> Demetri Karagas<\/strong><\/a>, co-founder of Thirty Madison, the healthcare company behind popular brands like Keeps, Cove, and Nurx. With extensive experience building and scaling successful startups, Demetri will share insights on his journey, the startup landscape, and his strategies for navigating the changing market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After co-founding Thirty Madison in 2017, Demetri led the company through a period of rapid growth, fueled by the successful launch of Keeps in January 2018 and strategic venture capital funding. The company’s trajectory was further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which created a surge in demand for telehealth services.<\/p>\n

To capitalize on this momentum, Thirty Madison raised a Series C in 2021, enabling them to double down on growth and expand their product offerings. Through strategic acquisitions of Nurx in 2022 and Pill Club in 2023, the company further solidified its position as a leading player in the healthcare market.<\/p>\n

In the fireside chat on November 20, Demetri will discuss his experiences raising venture capital, acquiring competitors, and adapting to the shifting startup ecosystem. He’ll also share his perspective on the current valuation trends and the importance of building a sustainable business model.<\/p>\n
