Unity Stoakes Email Address

Cofounder and President

StartUp Health is a global organization leading the movement to transform health. StartUp Health has the world's largest portfolio of digital health companies spanning over a dozen countries.

Unity Stoakes is on a life-long mission to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in the world. By combining the power of moonshot thinking, a transformer mindset, exponential innovation and collaborative communities, he believes anything is possible. In 2011, Unity co-founded StartUp Health to organize, activate and supercharge a global army of Health Transformers to embark on one extraordinary crusade -- to achieve a family of interconnected Health Moonshots, in an effort to improve the lives of billions of people. Today, StartUp Health has the world’s largest portfolio of health innovation companies (nearly 500 from 6 continents) and has assembled a worldwide network of 300,000 innovators, leaders, and investors committed to reinventing the future of health. Over the coming years, StartUp Health (and it's Health Transformer University) will continue to organize and support generations of Health Transformers to achieve Health Moonshots. Unity has been a tech entrepreneur since the mid-nineties, previously co-founding OrganizedWisdom and helping build The Privacy Council, Middleberg Interactive, and Webstakes.com/Promotions.com, which he helped take public on NASDAQ with his business partner of 25 years, Steven Krein. Unity has written for Forbes and TechCrunch, has appeared on Bloomberg TV, CNBC, CNN, NPR and USA Today, and speaks around the world about the future of health. He is the publisher of StartUp Health Magazine and co-host of StartUp Health NOW, a weekly web podcast series. A few of Unity's interests include designing behavior change for good, traveling off the beaten path, learning about new cultures & people, great food, photography, writing, street art, design, inspiring architecture, nature, day-dreaming, bocce ball, big trees, and walking. Most of all, he loves spending time with friends, his wife Katya, and rapidly growing kiddos Oz and Coco! Unity grew up on a farm in Oxford, Iowa, went to Boston University, spent two decades in NYC + currently lives in Berkeley CA. Learn more at www.startuphealth.com or connect @unitystoakes.
