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.

We’ll be deep diving into:

  • The early days at Keeps

  • Raising seed funding, and what he learned after raising a $15M Series A

  • Lessons learned from Get Maid that he's brought to Keeps

  • Working with a brand agency, and the importance of branding for D2C startups

  • How they used their brand to change the unsexy conversation around hair loss

  • Marketing tactics (How the company is growing 50% month over month)

  • What’s next for Thirty Madison
