Today, Kyle Robertson is one of the leading disruptors in the new digital health world. Widely respected for his out-of-the-box thinking and boundless enthusiasm, Robertson made a name for himself when he founded Cerebral, a groundbreakingly successful online mental health platform revolutionizing the way therapy and psychiatric services are delivered. Nowadays his work is expanding through two ambitious initiatives: Zealthy , a marketplace providing tailored telehealth care, and Revolution Venture Studios (RVS), a groundbreaking startup accelerator redefining what it means to have a healthcare-related business venture.
Kyle Robertson began his entrepreneurial journey early in 2020 by founding Cerebral jointly with other co-founders. The timing couldn’t have been more ideal. During the COVID-19 pandemic that turned every aspect of life upside down—right down to the availability of in-person mental care—Cerebral created a rapidly expanding opportunity. Cerebral connected patients with digital therapists and psychiatric professionals, distributed medication management, and ensured continuity of care—often all through a smooth digital process. Amidst the uncertainty and loneliness during the pandemic, Cerebral proved to be a vital mental health lifeline to millions.
With the direction of Robertson, the business flourished rapidly. It put mental health in the spotlight across the nation and challenged common presuppositions about the way care should be provided. By 2022, Cerebral had reached a valuation of $4.8 billion, further establishing the position of Robertson as a healthtech pioneer. But Robertson didn’t end with mental health. In 2023, he launched Zealthy—a direct-to-consumer telehealth company focused on mass but largely underserved areas such as weight management, skin and hair care, sexual health, and birth control. Zealthy differentiates itself through the degree to which it is customized. Patients receive customized treatment regimens consisting of GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, customized coaching, and medical monitoring—all through a seamless digital interface. The result: a more convenient, discrete, and cost-effective path to wellness.
In the process of creating Zealthy, Kyle Robertson also fulfilled his decade-long dream of creating a venture studio. He created Revolution Venture Studios but as a different type of investor—a true partner to would-be founders. RVS does not invest in companies; it co-founds them. From the formation of initial ideas to the establishment of fully fleshed-out operating teams, the studio works alongside entrepreneurs to take their innovations to market. Its support varies from seed funding to product development, business planning and strategy, and ongoing mentorship.
Healthcare, well-being, and artificial intelligence-driven solutions are areas in which RVS invests as a core focus area. Its early successes are medspa platform Amara, direct-to-consumer longevity therapies Bioverse, and ScribeAI, the artificial intelligence-driven startup automating medical documentation.
Below the work of Robertson is a recurring theme: using technology to address real, human health issues at scale. Whether he is bringing more access to care to the lives of more people or advising new entrants to disrupt the industry, the aim is the same from Robertson—reshape the future of health through innovation and impact.
Kyle Robertson is not just founding companies. He is creating a legacy based on people and transforming the face of healthcare towards a brighter future.
