EP.7 How He Built $10B Startup from Nothing | Noom CEO, Saeju Jeong

Today, millions of users know Noom as the most-installed weight loss app of 2020. But it took countless pivots and many years for the consumer-led digital health company to turn its mission—of helping people live healthier, happier lives—into a product users are obsessed with. Saeju's intense desire to help people dates back to childhood in South Korea, growing up in a family of doctors. He started working on what would become Noom in 2007, but it took nearly a decade for the company to hit its stride. Saeju shares why he's hyper-focused on preventative healthcare, why he would have been shocked as an early founder to learn he'd be in the weight loss business, and how becoming a father made him realize the value of his parents' unconditional love.

119. Why mission matters more than products, w/Noom’s Saeju Jeong

Noom

When Saeju Jeong moved from South Korea to the U.S. in his mid-20's, he barely knew anyone, didn't speak much English, and had only $5,000 in savings. Today, he's the CEO of Noom, one of the most popular weight loss/wellness apps in the U.S. Inspired by his late father—a doctor who criticized the profession for treating people only after they got sick—Saeju and his co-founder built their first fitness product in 2007. Several pivots later, they arrived at Noom, an app that carefully tracks what you eat, how you sleep and when you're stressed out. Noom has hinted it may go public this year—if so, the valuation could be as high as $10 billion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Saeju Jeong: From No's to Noom

Before he died, Saeju Jeong's father, an esteemed doctor in South Korea, passed down a question for his son to consider: "Why is healthcare overly-optimized for sick care management?" “My father encouraged me to think about how I can do something great for the community,” explains Jeong. Tune in to this episode of Raise the Line to hear how Jeong's company, Noom, uses science to help end-users unlock their potential and become better versions of themselves through improved diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Of prime importance, says Jeong, is actually believing in Noom’s end-users, and encouraging them to leave any previous “stigmatized experience” with weight loss behind. Listen in as Jeong and host Shiv Gaglani discuss the increasing emphasis on “direct-to-consumer” healthcare as technological innovation decreases the gap between patients and service providers, and hear why Noom chose a consumer-first approach in building their company. Plus, learn the backstory on their new product, Noom Mood, and discover what Jeong believes to be the silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Helping People to Become Better Versions of Themselves – Saeju Jeong, CEO of Noom

Saeju Jeong is the CEO &amp; Co-founder of Noom. Starting with failing to become a doctor into a heart-wrenching story about his father’s early death that then propelled him into a move to New York where he stole lunches at Google and later stole engineers to join his incredibly successful weight loss app, Saeju is here to talk emotion and details. Not leaving out his partner, Artem, Saeju attributes the success of the company to the success of their friendship. Sprinkle in some details about owning a metal record label, having therapist-lead Co-founder meetings, and giving away the wealth of his first business to his mother to show his care and resolve, I can honestly say this episode is incredibly charming and you’re going to want to hear these stories. Need help with interpersonal communication, especially in a business setting? Want to know the perspective of a weight loss company that focuses most of its attention on behavior and mental health?

Episode 138: Saeju Jeong – CEO and Co-founder of Noom

Saeju Jeong, Noom Co-Founder and CEO, spent his early years immersed in the world of medicine, but his eventual path took a much less traditional turn. Join Robin and Wayne as they learn how Saeju found his calling, why Noom is more than a weight loss app, and where the future of heathcare is headed next.

Noom Co-Founder & CEO Saeju Jeong

In this episode, we interview Saeju Jeong, the Co-Founder and CEO of Noom. Founded in 2008, the company’s mission is to help people everywhere lead healthier lives through behavior change. Although today they are best known for their weight loss app, the company is making a push to extend its behavior change platform further into chronic care, supported by their recent $540 million Series F growth round led by Silver Lake.
