The early phase of the partnership centered on building the commercial, brand, and creator-facing capabilities required to support rapid consumer growth. Three Pillars placed leadership across creator partnerships, events, and brand-facing functions that helped expand Function Health's external presence, deepen its creator ecosystem, and strengthen the infrastructure behind community and audience engagement.

As the organization scaled, the partnership also supported a select set of operational hires, including executive support and legal leadership, to ensure the company could maintain pace, coordination, and governance while continuing to grow aggressively.

In parallel, Three Pillars helped build out Function Health's internal creative studio and content production engine.
