Sam Gerstenzang

Entrepreneur and Tech Executive

Sam Gerstenzang is a co-founder of Moxie, a company that provides a comprehensive "business-in-a-box" solution for nurses looking to start their own medical spas. Founded in June 2022 alongside Dan Friedman, Moxie aims to simplify the process of launching a med spa by offering essential services and tools, allowing practitioners to focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks. Under their model, med spas can open at a significantly reduced cost compared to industry standards, with many owners achieving comparable earnings to full-time nurses while working fewer hours.13

Before co-founding Moxie, Gerstenzang held significant roles in various tech and startup environments. He was a Senior Product Director at Stripe, where he led a large team and contributed to the development of several high-impact payment products. Additionally, he co-founded Umbrella, a startup acquired by IAC/ANGI, and worked at Sidewalk Labs, an Alphabet company focused on urban innovation.23 Gerstenzang's educational background includes studies at Stanford University, which has contributed to his expertise in product development and entrepreneurship.2
