History[edit | edit source]
Ro was established with the aim of improving access to healthcare through technology. The founders, Zachariah Reitano, Saman Rahmanian, and Rob Schutz, identified a gap in the market for convenient and affordable healthcare services. The company initially launched with a focus on men's health, offering treatments for conditions such as erectile dysfunction and hair loss.
