Meet the “her” behind Hims. Hilary Coles is the co-founder of Hims and Hers, two telemedicine platforms that are changing the way we do healthcare and wellness.

And she’s doing it so well that even J. Lo is putting her famous mane behind it.

We speak to Hilary about why consumers are increasingly interested in telehealth solutions in place of traditional, in-person medical services, and how Hims, Inc. is expanding. She also tells us her forecast for the future of telehealth and what it’s like to work with (and be in the same room with) Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod.

About Hims and Hers:

If you’re ever taken the NYC, you probably know about Hims. When the digital health platform launched in 2017, it entertained morning commuters with clever ads about being able to discreetly deliver medications for everything from hairless to erectile dysfunction.

Exactly one year later, after immense success with Hims, co-founders Hilary Coles and Andrew Dudlum launched Hers – a curated platform giving women access to the brand’s network of doctors who can provide guidance and medical-grade treatment for various conditions and daily needs including birth control, acne, hair loss, melasma, and emergency contraception. In January 2019, Hims, Inc. became the second-fastest startup to become a so-called “unicorn” second only to Bird.

The company currently connects patients across the U.S. to licensed medical professionals, enabling them to get access to high-quality care. They also discreetly ship OTC and Rx products to customers in all 50 states – and pride themselves on making access to medical care easier by embracing telehealth.
