HELLO WGM! 👋

Name: Derek Flanzraich

📍 Location: Austin, TX yeeeehaw!

💼 Current Role:

Managing Partner & CEO at Healthyish Ventures, which includes:

• A health content marketing agency called Healthyish Content with clients like Midi, BetterHelp, Ro, LMNT, Allara, Veracity, and others.
• Fractional Chief Marketing Officer/consulting work for co's like Radial, Truemed, Oshi, GoodRx, etc.
• Occasional advising & even less occasional investing
• Plus, I write a weekly newsletter called 5HT that goes out to about 100K people
🎯 Hobbies:

• Building things (companies, content, products)
• Health/fitness/longevity

💬 Some Topics I’m Interested in Connecting About:

• Health & wellness innovation
• Brain health / Alzheimer’s prevention
• Content & community as growth engines
• GEO & SEO/really any marketing
• AI’s role in healthcare
• Newsletters
🤝 How I Can Help WGM:

• Happy to be a strategy, messaging, content, and GTM thought partner on anything health/healthcare.
• Love connecting dots, pressure-testing ideas, sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t) and making warm intros when useful (have a pretty great investor network to boot as a two-time venture-backed founder.)
• Also if you've got a product and want me to try it out (can't promise coverage duh), happy to for the newsletter...
✨ How WGM Can Help Me: Looking to learn from other builders, swap real stories, get smarter about where health & tech are headed, and I guess ultimately find collaborator and friends building with intention to make a difference in this important space!
