Emily Chong

Emily Chong is the Director and Co-Founder of Healthish, a company that creates sleek water bottles with timestamps to help people track their daily hydration goals.1

Emily has a background in accounting and previously worked in a corporate job before starting Healthish.1 She was inspired to start an online business with a physical product after seeing her partner Nathan Chan working on his own business.1

Together with Nathan, Emily launched Healthish's flagship product - a time-marked water bottle designed to help people maintain proper hydration throughout the day.1 The bottle is divided into two halves, each representing half of the day, allowing users to easily track their water intake and reach the recommended two liters per day.1

Before launching Healthish, Emily took a course taught by Gretta van Riel, a Shopify Build Your Business award winner, to learn about starting an online business.1 She also leveraged her experience as a former Instagram influencer to validate her product idea and gather feedback from potential customers.1

Emily and Nathan utilized influencer marketing strategies to promote their brand, sending free products to relevant influencers in fitness, fashion, and health-related fields.2 This approach helped them build brand awareness and credibility in their target market.

Emily is described as a patient, humble, and great listener with strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills.3 Her diverse educational background and experience have contributed to her success as an entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry.
