“We wanted to work with Stanford and Summit founder Zach Teiger because this event reflects the real shift happening in consumer health — where people are taking more ownership over their mental, physical, and emotional well-being, and new business models are emerging to support that demand,” said Anthony Vennare, co-founder of Fitt Insider. “Bringing together founders, investors, and academics to examine research-backed innovation is exactly the kind of dialogue the category needs, and we’re excited to support that conversation as an industry partner.”

“With the inaugural Consumer Health Summit, Stanford Medicine is establishing itself as a hub for consumer health innovation,” said Zach Teiger, summit founder and Stanford graduate student. “It’s incredibly special to have this lineup of prominent thought leaders come together. It’s a meeting of some of the greatest minds in the space, and we’ll get to hear how they are redefining and creating the future of health.”

Fitt Insider is joining as the exclusive media sponsor, supporting the event alongside other sponsors in the space, including Morrison Foerster, Summit Partners, Niagen Bioscience, Hannah Cranston Media, Structure Creation Consulting, Provenance Consumer, Ultrahuman, and Next Ventures.
