Head of People
HoneydewMission 💪
Our mission is to ensure that no one in the world has to suffer from a treatable skin disease because of an access issue ever again.
About Honeydew 👋
Honeydew is building an operating system for hundreds of millions of people globally to access expertise and science-backed skin treatments, from prescription to retail.
Our tech-forward dermatology experience helps people with chronic skin conditions access licensed specialists, FDA-approved treatment, and ongoing support in record time (24 hours vs an industry average of 6 months).
Honeydew is the future of skin health — digitally native, scientifically rooted, integrated end-to-end (evaluation + treatments + lab tests), and powered by AI.
Stage 🚀
Since launching, Honeydew has helped 20,000+ people achieve life-changing results with a 5-star rating, and we are growing 5x YoY. We are bringing on our first People leader to help support our team as we scale.
Honeydew is backed by Footwork VC, Rex Woodbury (Daybreak VC), and top-tier angels like Jeff Nadler (Teladoc), Max Mullen (Instacart), Brent Saunders (Allergan), Cory Levy (Z fellows), and Adam Guild (Owner).
Founders ⭐
Honeydew was started by David Futoran (Wharton) and the dermatologist who cleared his skin, Joel Spitz, MD (Princeton, Columbia), after David spent years struggling to access care.
