A bit about Sons
Sons was founded in 2019 by Will and Adrian, driven by their own struggles with hair loss and the lack of accessible, affordable treatment options. Today, Sons is a certified B Corp digital health company on a mission to make men’s health more open, optimistic, and effective.
We bring together physicians, pharmacists, scientists, technologists, and creatives to tackle the reality that most men don’t seek help for issues like hair loss. Through our telehealth platform and cloud pharmacy, we deliver clinically proven treatments straight to their doors—safely, affordably, and discreetly.
With over 500,000 men treated across the UK, Ireland, and Germany, and a Series A €6.75M funding round, we’re expanding into new markets and channels. Our goal? To help every generation of sons live healthier, happier lives.
