Early life and education
Horwitz was born in Washington D.C. to Tony Horwitz and Geraldine Brooks, the elder of two sons.[3] The family split time between Sydney, Massachusetts, and Virginia.[4][5]
As a student, Horwitz worked on biotech startups.[6][7] While at Harvard, Horwitz met Sam Koppelman, with whom he would later found Mayday Health and Hunterbrook.[8][9]
Career
After graduating from Harvard, Horwitz joined RA Capital Management, a healthcare-focused investment firm.[10] While at RA Capital, Horwitz launched biotech companies.[11] He left RA Capital in 2023, before founding Hunterbrook.[12]
In 2022 Horwitz co-founded Mayday Health with Koppelman and Liv Raisner.[13] The 501(c)(3) nonprofit educates on abortion access and advocated for laws to shield healthcare providers who send abortion medicine to people in states with abortion bans.[14]
In 2023, Horwitz and Koppelman founded Hunterbrook, an investment fund and investigative journalism outlet,[15][16] with Horwitz as CEO. Hunterbrook later raised $100 million in 2024 "to make trades based on articles by its affiliated newsroom.”[17][18] The company's name is partially derived from Horwitz's mother's last name.[19]
