Giorgos Tsetis is an entrepreneur and philanthropist who co-founded Nutrafol in 2014, transforming it into the leading dermatologist-recommended hair growth supplement brand in the United States. Under his leadership, Nutrafol attracted over 2 million users and was acquired by Unilever in 2022 for over $1 billion, with Tsetis completing the sale of his remaining shares in early 2025 at a valuation of $3.5 billion. Now 41, he has launched a family office called Great Things to invest in breakthrough startups—including AI companies like Anthropic, xAI, and SpaceX—while channeling profits toward philanthropic causes focused on social good, food access, mental health, and education.
