About
Jonathan Swerdlin is Function Health's Co-Founder and CEO, with a background that moves across healthcare distribution, consumer brands, and venture investing. Before Function, he founded a medical supply and public-health consulting company, chaired Thinx during its early growth, and co-founded Wisdom VC, where his investing has focused heavily on consumer needs and health demand. His own experience using biomarker tracking to manage a lifelong neurological condition is the personal thread behind the company.
What to Know
Signature approach
Swerdlin's role is product and company-building: making complex health data feel understandable, repeatable, and affordable enough for a large consumer membership. His personal health story gives the work a practical edge, while his operator background keeps the emphasis on access, member experience, and scalable delivery.
