Jonathan Cole Las Vegas, Nevada

I build and run healthcare businesses. I've worked in pharmaceutical and medical distribution since 2022, and today I operate a handful of companies across compounding, peptides, wound care, and medical devices. I'm interested in how medicine actually gets to people, and in fixing the parts of that system that are slower or more expensive than they need to be.

What I'm working on

The companies below range from four years old to one year old. Each one grew out of a gap I ran into while running the others.

Star Distribution Founder
A distribution company for wound care products and clinic supplies, serving medical spas, physician practices, and the clinics that keep them stocked.
Total Wound Experts Founder & CEO
A national wound care and medical devices company. We supply advanced wound care products and the training to use them well, working with clinics, physicians, and facilities across the country.
High Risk Payments Founder
Payment processing for merchants that mainstream banks and processors refuse: peptides, supplements, telehealth, and other high-risk categories. We get legitimate businesses approved and keep them approved.

Background

I grew up in Essex County, New Jersey, playing sports and having a normal, happy childhood until I was diagnosed with pancreatitis at eleven. The years of hospital stays that followed taught me early how healthcare looks from the patient's side of the bed, and they are the reason I ended up in this industry.

After Stockton University I moved to Los Angeles, learned the medical space under a great mentor and great teams, and went out on my own in 2022. Since then I've done eight figures in sales, built teams of more than twenty people, and run several healthcare and pharmacy companies at a time. Today I live in Las Vegas with my family.

What's next

The next chapter is Star Health. The goal is simple: make quality medical products affordable for Americans and the clinics that treat them, and bring more of that supply chain home. Star Distribution, Total Wound Experts, and High Risk Payments are the pieces I'm assembling to get there, and Star Health is the brand that ties them together.

Outside of work

Family comes first. I married my lovely wife at 24, and most of what I do, I do so that my family has more options than I did. I'm Jewish, and my faith shapes how I think about business and what I owe the people I work with. I read a lot of history and follow politics closely.
