Demetri Karagas is the Co-Founder of Keeps, a consumer-friendly brand focused exclusively on helping men keep their hair. The full-service healthcare company sells men’s hair loss prevention medications direct-to-consumer through a subscription-based model, while also providing digital access to a network of doctors. Founded in 2017, Keeps is the first brand from Thirty Madison, which is rebuilding the healthcare experience for modern consumers, and has raised a total $22.8M in funding (completed $15M Series A this past October). Besides being an ex-Google employee, Demetri previously founded Get Maid, which was acquired by Homejoy in 2014.
