Medvi is a telehealth GLP-1 provider built by Matthew Gallagher, 41, from his house in LA. He launched in September 2024 with $20,000. Here are the numbers:
Month 1: 300 customers
Month 2: 1,300 customers
2025 full year: $401M revenue, 250,000 customers
2026 run rate: $1.8B
Net margin: 16.2% ($65M profit)
Total employees: 2 (him and his brother)
Outside funding: $0
How it works: Medvi is a front end. Two platforms โ CareValidate and OpenLoop Health โ handle doctors, prescriptions, pharmacies, shipping, and compliance. Gallagher handles brand, website, ads, checkout, and customer service. All built with AI.
His stack: ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok for code. Midjourney and Runway for ad creative. ElevenLabs for voice. Custom AI agents to connect systems. AI chatbot for customer service (which initially hallucinated fake prices he had to honor).
For comparison: Hims & Hers did $2.4B revenue last year with 2,442 employees and 5.5% net margins. Gallagher is running 3x the margin with a fraction of a percent of the headcount.
Back into the unit economics: ~$336M in total costs, probably $160-200M to the telehealth platforms, leaving $130-170M mostly in marketing. Against 250,000 customers, that's a $500-700 CAC. High, but it works because his overhead is virtually zero and LTV at ~$200/month holds up.
He's expanding fast. Men's health launched in February โ 50K customers in month one. Meal delivery went live last month. Women's health, hair growth, supplements, and skincare are next.
The vulnerability: zero moat. No proprietary tech, no doctor network, no pharmacy infrastructure. CareValidate or OpenLoop could raise fees or launch competing brands. Anyone could replicate this model in weeks.
