Draft:BaskHealth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bask Health is a privately held American health technology company headquartered in New York City. Founded in 2021 by twin brothers Zachary Dorf (Chief Executive Officer) and Elias Dorf (President), the company offers a white-label, direct-to-consumer telehealth infrastructure platform. Known as the "Shopify for telehealth," Bask Health equips clinicians, entrepreneurs, and businesses with tools for virtual medical consultations, electronic prescribing, pharmacy integrations, patient management, and e-commerce.[1] The company has been profiled by leading financial media outlets for its role in transforming access to digital healthcare through scalable technology.[2]

History

[edit]

Bask Health was founded in 2021 after Zachary and Elias Dorf encountered repeated technical and regulatory hurdles while launching their own telemedicine venture.[3] This led them to build a fully managed, no-code telehealth platform to empower others facing similar barriers. The brothers combined Zachary’s software engineering/data science background and Elias’s life sciences investment banking experience to create a compliance-driven solution.

In early 2022, the company developed its MVP and onboarded its first clients through word of mouth. On April 29, 2024, Bask Health closed a seed funding round totaling $760,000, led by Third Act Ventures and backed by ten investors.[4] Its early growth and funding momentum were covered by Seeking Alpha in a December 2024 press release.[5]

Bask Health provides modular infrastructure for launching telehealth businesses.[6] Its platform includes:

  • API integrations (diagnostics, labs, logistics)

The platform supports diverse care verticals, including men’s wellness, dermatology, chronic care, lab testing, device delivery, and weight management programs.[7]
