Fella Health helps middle-aged men live 10 years longer.
We are the telemedicine clinic for bigger guys, worldwide. We use medical weight loss treatment to solve our fellas' most pressing healthcare need, then remain a fella's core healthcare provider for the rest of their life - focused on men's health, longevity, mental health, and primary care.
We will have served 1 million fellas by the end of 2026, and 10 million fellas by the end of 2028.
Our mission is to solve male obesity worldwide, by accelerating the take-up of GLP-1s in middle-aged men. From this, we’ll become the world’s leading men’s health brand.
We’ve grown >1000x since Aug 2021, >180x since Sept 2022, >10x since Nov 2023, and are strongly cashflow positive. We have expanded our state coverage to >95% of US population, have started to expand our clinical protocol beyond weight (e.g. testosterone), and are eyeing up international expansion.
We're still a young startup and are moving quickly. We have a long way to go. This is still Day 1.

These are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members at Fella:
Belief in the mission — we will have served 10 million fellas by the end of 2028 (1 million fellas by end of 2026) and we transform the life of most fellas who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our fellas and are dedicated to the mission.
Bulldozing barriers — the world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves.
Unwavering integrity — we are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can’t look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity.
Enduring frugality — we are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. We spend our cash wisely & carefully - in a way that would make our grandmas proud.
Do what is needed — speed is critical and often the solutions we need are messy. We are comfortable moving quickly, taking on gritty work, and owning projects from noticing the problem to delivering the outcome.
Distaste for incompetence — we’re highly capable. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence. We’re obsessed with our role, with a commitment to compounding self-improvement.
Commitment to candor — we believe in open communication and transparency. We are clear & caring communicators, welcoming feedback.
Only the paranoid survive — the road of expansion is bumpy. We are not fair weather sailers; we embrace the storms. However much we’ve already done, however far we’ve already come — all our work is still ahead of us.
Keep your head down — we’re boring people doing exciting work. We don’t chase short-term status: we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that.
💨 ”Have courage. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Don’t get stuck. You have to get in the current, or someone else is going to – and then no matter how great your execution is, they will leave you foundering in their wake. See the fast moving water and move there. Do it now. Don’t wait.”
🎯 “You just build an amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the fella. Give the fella massively more value than you take.” — a poetic extract from one of our advisors.
