Building & backing the infrastructure for human health
I help early-stage health-tech founders hit PMF faster.
My Story
Hi! I'm Rosa! I'm on a personal mission to build companies that improve human health.
I co-founded & spent 7 years building Rupa Health, a marketplace for doctors to order advanced lab testing. We scaled to 200+ teammates, supported 100,000+ patients, and reached a nine-figure exit. At Rupa I led product, design and built our operational functions from zero to one.
Today, I am leading product & design at Gaia Family. I also selectively angel invest & advise ambitious founders in health.
Outside of building, I love hosting events, adventure travel & bad dad jokes. I currently split time between NYC & Boston.



How I Engage
Advising
I advise a limited number of VC-backed health companies (pre-seed to Series A) on product strategy, GTM clarity, and clinical workflows.






Product Sprints
Speaking
I run focused product sprints with 2–3 teams per year. These are intensive engagements designed to unlock PMF signals.
I speak & moderate panels on design thinking, product leadership, and operator lessons from the field.
Work With Me
I work with a small number of founders & teams each year.
Advising


I advise VC-backed health and wellness companies at the pre-seed to Series A stage. I focus on:
Product strategy & PMF signals
Clinical and operational workflows
GTM clarity and early distribution
Founder decision-making
Best for founders who want clear thinking, fast feedback, and operator-level judgment.




Product Sprints
I run focused 4–6 week product sprints with select teams.
Designed to:
Clarify ICP and core use cases
Pressure-test product direction
Align product, GTM, and narrative
Create momentum toward PMF
This is hands-on, opinionated work — not theory.
I speak and moderate panels on:
Building products in regulated health environments
Lessons from scaling health tech companies
Product leadership and founder decision-making
Popular with VC firms, accelerators, and operator audiences.
