Make Money with Teledermatology | Jack Jia


Listen Later

Jack Jia is a four-time Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor, and the founder/CEO of Musely, the fastest-growing teledermatology platform in the US. From exporting oranges to building nine-figure software companies and funding a dozen tech unicorns, Jack’s journey is a masterclass in pivoting, problem-solving, and innovating at scale. His story with Musely—spawned to solve his wife’s melasma—has redefined how Americans access prescription skincare by blending tech, telemedicine, and affordability.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Jack’s journey from early tech ventures to Musely’s explosive growth

  • The art of the “fail fast, iterate fast” entrepreneurial method

  • Why listening deeply to customer pain points drives genuine innovation

  • How Musely pivoted from a content marketplace to delivering prescription-grade skincare for real results

  • The science, strategy, and business model behind Musely’s affordable, effective treatments

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1.  True innovation starts by solving real, unmet needs—not chasing trends or surface-level problems.
    2.  Being willing to pivot (even after millions invested) is the mark of a resilient founder and organization.
    3.  For lasting success, build feedback loops, evolve with science, and focus on efficacy plus customer trust.

    Notable Quotes

    • “Our success comes from efficacy, affordability, and real results—'Musely Works' is more than a slogan.”

    • “We went from a content app to a telemedicine powerhouse because we listened to what patients actually needed.”

    • “The team is everything: great teams find great markets—even if they start out in the wrong one.”
