You own it and you make the decisions. We sit next to you for six months while your creator sales force on Trybe, your patient call center, and your ads go live, using a launch model most founders don't discover until month six, after they've spent thousands patching leaks.

The broken model
Every founder we talk to has the same stack of quotes. A website, a CRM, a doctor introduction, a pharmacy introduction, LegitScript handled. The numbers run from ten grand to seventy. The deliverables are identical.
You've looked at the options. The business-in-a-box seller whose incentive ends at your credit card.
The platform that promises thirty days to launch, then hands you a login and a Slack channel and calls it done.
The agency that will happily run your ads into a funnel that leaks before the first refill.
The course that teaches you to do all of it yourself. Which is another job, not an asset.
And the one that looks the most legitimate: the twenty-thousand-dollar build. You wire the money, they work for eight weeks, they hand you a folder of logins, and then they are gone in exactly the month everything actually gets hard.
Every single one shares the same flaw: they build for the day the website goes live, not the day the patient comes back. And in telehealth the money is in the second, third, and twelfth refill. Never the first order. Which means every one of them is paid in full and gone before the only number that matters shows up.
So the ads work. Patients come in. Then nausea, sticker shock, a checkout abandoned at 9pm that nobody calls. Over half quit before the medication has a chance to work. You buy more traffic to replace them. The math never turns.
That cycle doesn't break with a better platform. It breaks when the model changes entirely.
The change you need
There's a completely different model. One where a trained human calls every patient who hesitates, checks in during week one, and reaches out before the refill runs out, from the day you open.
Retention becomes the growth engine. The ads just feed it. You decide who you serve, what you charge, and where the money goes. The team does the calling.
And nobody hands you a folder at week eight. We stay in the account with you for six months, through the first cohort, the first churn, the first refill cycle, the first ad that stops working. You learn to run it by running it, with the people who already do, sitting on the same call.

Real patients. Real creators. Your brand.
The Self-Funding Telehealth System
Three parts. Fully built. Compounds every refill.
Your LegitScript application ready to submit, doctors and a pharmacy under contract with you, a map of the states you can sell in on day one, and the list of words that get telehealth ads banned so yours are not.
Website, patient forms, checkout, and CRM, with tracking that counts real sales, not clicks. Then the part that keeps it fed: 30 new ads a month, guaranteed to beat your best ad. Skits, talking-head, creator, and AI-presenter videos that look like the posts your patients already watch, written inside telehealth ad rules, tested in your account, and given more budget only when they win. Plus a creator sales force recruited to your brand on Trybe, paid when they sell.
Examples from our own brand. Tap for sound. 61 tested ads and 60 creator videos from our list of 1,000+ weight-loss creators come with the build.
Within 30 days, one of our ads brings in patients cheaper than your current best ad, in your own account, or we keep making ads at no charge until one does. We never promise revenue.
Included in your $4,000 a month, every month, for all six. Not a separate line item and not an upsell.
A trained patient team under contract with you, five automatic triggers in your CRM, a human calling back within 30 minutes, scripts in English and Spanish, one report a week. Every login and contract is in your name from day one. Then the part nobody else sells: we stay in the account with you until month six, one working call a week, reading the same numbers you are, deciding the next move together.
The loop repeats every refill and compounds
It works

Started LeanDose three years ago and runs it today. The operating playbook in this build is his.

Built the growth engine behind LeanDose: the funnels, the CRM, the ads, the patient team. Runs your build and your first call.
Square One is the launch build from Care Connect, the team behind LeanDose. It is new; LeanDose is the proof case. No client logos yet, and we'd rather say so than fake it. LeanDose figures are self-reported, not audited.
See the difference
The investment
You are not buying a build. You are hiring the team that runs LeanDose to sit next to you while yours gets to its first refill cycle. Nothing is charged before the fit call.
Six months, signed together. Month one starts the working session, your numbers, the platform choice, your LegitScript application, and the 30-day plan.
If a gate we control misses its date, we stop billing, keep working free until it is done, and the months we owe you are added to the end at no charge. If the delay is outside our control, the clock pauses and nothing is billed until that gate actually passes. We never promise LegitScript approval, platform approval, ad results, revenue, or medical outcomes. Nobody can.
Everything is in your name from day one, including if we part ways at month six. What the six months cover, LegitScript, stopping, month seven ↓
Who it's built for
Limited capacity
Running this build means real work: the LegitScript application, the doctor and pharmacy contracts, picking and training the patient team. Those are done by hand, by us, and we cannot do many at once.
And every client gets six months of the same two people who run LeanDose, on a call every week. We don't outsource it. We don't automate the relationship. Six months each is the whole reason we can only carry a few at a time.
That's why we cap the number of builds we start each quarter.
Common questions
Our fee is $4,000 a month for six months, $24,000 total, and that is the whole fee. Ad management, the 30 creatives a month, and the weekly working call are inside it. Running the business is separate and paid by you directly: the platform, the patient team (from about $1,500 a month), doctors, pharmacy, medication, shipping, software, legal, ad spend, and creator pay. On the first call we put a number on all of it, in writing, before you pay anything.
Because the build is the easy part and everyone sells it. The hard month is the one where your first cohort decides whether to come back, and that is month four or five, long after a build team has been paid and left. Six months puts us in the account through the first cohort, the first churn, the first refill cycle, and the first ad that stops working. You end it able to run it, because you spent six months running it with us.
If a gate we control misses its date, we stop billing, keep working free until it passes, and the months we owe you are added to the end of the six at no charge. If the delay is outside our control (LegitScript review, platform setup, your payment processor's approval, your own sign-offs), the clock pauses and nothing is billed until that gate actually passes.
We prepare the application to submission-ready; LegitScript makes the call. If they come back with findings, we work the remediation list and resubmit at no additional fee, and those weeks do not count against your six months. Everything built to that point is yours. Months already paid for delivered work are not refunded.
Yes, and we say so plainly. The six months are signed together at $4,000 a month, because the expensive work is front-loaded into the build and the valuable work is at the back, and an offer you can leave after month two is an offer we would have to price at $20,000 upfront instead. Nothing is charged before the fit call. Everything we build is in your name from day one, so if we part ways at month six you are not handing anything back. Months already paid for delivered work are not refunded except under the guarantee.
Square One is new. The system was built for and proven on LeanDose, our own brand, at 5,000+ patients a month in two countries. We have no client logos yet and will not invent any. On the fit call you see the live LeanDose account, the refill workflow, and the CRM triggers.
You do. Website, CRM, accounts, logins, workflows, scripts, source files, and playbooks are in your name from day one, not transferred at the end. The platform contract and the desk contract are in your name from day one. The desk is paid to its vendor directly; we may receive a referral fee, and you get the same rate approaching them yourself.
Everything is already yours and already in your name, so nothing transfers and nothing switches off. If you want us to keep running ads and the weekly call, we price that on a month-to-month basis at month five, when we both know what it is worth. If you don't, you keep the whole system, the team, the creator roster, and the playbooks, and we are done. We would rather earn month seven than lock it.
Included in your $4,000 a month, every month, for all six. 30 new ads a month (skits, talking-head, creator, and AI-presenter videos that look like normal posts), tested in your account, with a weekly report on what a new patient costs you. Guarantee: within 30 days one of our ads brings in patients cheaper than your current best ad, or we keep making ads free until one does. We never promise revenue.
No. You need to run the business: the money, the decisions, the numbers. Licensed doctors and pharmacies are part of the network, exactly as they are in our own practice.
One application. One 20-minute fit call. Nothing is charged before it.
