In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Rekha Kumar, Chief Medical Officer of Found. Found is one of the first telehealth startups focused on comprehensive obesity care. Since its founding, it has raised over $130 million and was valued at $600 million as of 2022. At the heart of their mission is combining medical treatment — including access to weight-loss medications like GLP-1s — with behavior change support to help people achieve lasting health outcomes.

Dr. Kumar is a leading voice in the field of Obesity Medicine. She’s a board-certified endocrinologist, who served as the first Medical Director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and is currently a practicing clinician who serves as an associate professor at Weill Cornell.

In this episode, we’ll dive into Rekha’s journey from clinical medicine to startup executive, what makes Found’s approach different, and her perspective on access, equity, and the future of GLP-1 therapies.
