Nathanael Farrelly, a former nurse, sold his home healthcare startup Revitalize for $12.5 million at 29. Now retired, he focuses on family life with his wife and three kids while also investing in startups like a coffee company and a fitness app
Nathanael Farrelly began his professional journey as a registered nurse at the age of 21. Just three years later, at 24, he founded Revitalize, a home infusion therapy startup that connected nurses with patients for in-home treatments like IV medications and antibiotics.
Launch and Growth of Revitalize
Farrelly started Revitalize in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when demand for home-based healthcare services surged. The company quickly attracted attention from private equity firms, but Farrelly declined early acquisition offers, believing the timing wasn’t right.
Strategic Exit
By 2023, recognizing the need for scale and support beyond what he could provide alone, Farrelly decided to sell Revitalize to one of the largest infusion companies in the U.S. for $12.5 million (approximately Rs 106 crore). He remained with the company for 18 months post-sale to ensure a smooth transition.
Net Worth and Current Life
Following the sale, Farrelly’s estimated net worth reached around $14 million (approximately Rs 119 crore). At age 29, he opted for a “family sabbatical” and now lives in Florida with his pregnant wife and three children, preparing for the arrival of their fourth child.
Focus on Family and Self
Farrelly has embraced his new role as a stay-at-home parent. According to him, the exit allowed him to “really focus on family” and pursue personal growth, which he considers more fulfilling than professional accolades.
Angel Investments and New Interests
While enjoying his early retirement, Farrelly has also stepped into angel investing. He is supporting a friend’s coffee business and a fitness app, indicating his continued interest in entrepreneurial ventures—albeit from the sidelines.
A New Phase
For Farrelly, the business exit wasn’t just financial—it marked a transition into a life centered around family, balance, and thoughtful investing.
