Holding company · Est. by Scott Blaine Hoffman
Web Ventures Group owns and operates a portfolio of consumer health brands, publishing sites and affiliate properties, led by a founder who built and sold his first internet company, Media Connection of New York (MCNY), to Winstar Communications before most businesses had a homepage.
Two divisions. Regrowth Intelligence covers hair and health; Web Ventures Group runs the affiliate and publishing sites.
Scott has spent three decades building internet businesses, most of them in a category people find hard to talk about: hair loss.
In 1995 he founded Media Connection of New York (MCNY), one of the first internet development firms, and sold it to Winstar Communications. He then launched Regrowth.com, the first hair-loss community online. Its moderated newsgroup grew past 50,000 subscribers, physicians, dermatologists and trichologists among them, and moderators routinely called out product shills.
Listening to that community shaped what he built next. Members wanted ingredients they couldn't find in quality form, so he formulated them: sulfate-free ketoconazole shampoo treatments under Regenepure, a fine-mist minoxidil sprayer, and minoxidil paired with tretinoin for better absorption. He also works as a hair transplant referral specialist.
Web Ventures Group is the company behind the rest of the portfolio, where the same playbook applies: earn trust with useful content, then point readers to products worth buying.
