Dan Markel is the Founder/CEO of Rise Medical, a first-of-its-kind community of medical professionals and sexual wellness experts dedicated to the personalized treatment of vitality issues through integrative care. Alongside his wife of 30 years, he aims to provide a customized, empowering approach to rejuvenating sexual health and discovering true intimacy. Growing up in a large family separated by bitter divorce led Markel to recognize the relational cost of ongoing dysfunction and disconnection. Now, armed with trademark positivity, a sense of humor, and a unique interdisciplinary perspective, he finds immense satisfaction in helping clients work toward greater connection in their relationships.
Entrepreneurial at an early age, Markel’s first business credit was a lemonade stand in which his mom and sister were key investors. He soon picked up a paper route and earned real-world sales experience hawking candy out of his socks at school. A knack for acting led him to the world of high school theater, where he met his wife. The two moved to Los Angeles to attend Loyola Marymount University, then New York, where Dan earned an MFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Proving you really can do it all, he juggled running a successful Los Angeles-based real estate firm with appearances on New York soap operas, all while raising a family of six.
Working toward his MBA at the University of Southern California, Markel dove into the world of investment banking on Wall Street with Morgan Stanley. There, he specialized in private equity for startups and growth companies, raising more than $100M in over 35 offerings. Meanwhile, he developed a keen interest in the specific challenges lying at the intersection of thriving work, healthy living, and quality relationships.
This led him to create practical, people-centered solutions as the founder of multiple start-ups, actively resolving real-world problems, such as establishing one of the first “live-work” loft projects in Los Angeles and founding a national recovery company to revolutionize treatment for addiction/alcoholism. He went on to co-found Intrivo Diagnostics, responsible for the first OTC Covid testing kits coupled with user friendly APP tracking/recording results for individuals and larger populations with schools, companies, and governments. His latest venture - Pure Blue Group - is making great technological advancements in areas of digital health, humanitarian aid, fitness, and healthy cuisine.
With a proven track record of entrepreneurial success a mile long, Markel’s proudest achievement remains helping to raise his four amazing children (now adults): Vivian, Jackson, Max, and Stella. Believing that “the true test of a person’s character is what he does when no one is watching,” he strives to live every day with integrity and a lens of gratitude. He currently splits time between California and his home state of Nebraska with wife and Rise Medical Co-Founder Kathleen and their two dogs, Theo and Truck.
