Joe Maristela (born Jose Ofrecio Maristela III) is a serial entrepreneur, and prominent angel, seed, and independent investor based in San Francisco, California and Manila, Philippines.
Maristela hails from the prominent and well-respected clan of former Philippine Army General Jose C Maristela Sr.
Maristela was born in the City of San Francisco, in St. Luke's Hospital, where his mother, Ofelia Maristela, was an active pediatrician. Maristela grew up in Atherton, California. Growing up he periodically visits and even studied in the Philippines as well.
During his high school years, Maristela worked summers at his parents' clinical facilities, including PediaHealth's clinical facilities. His work at the time largely involved installing simple networks of computers, mostly AppleTalk networked computers. He installed and maintained networks of 20 or more computers per site. The computer systems ran simple practice management software, ranging from simple calendar programs that he'd written himself to licensed server-side software some as Millbrook practice management software.
It was via this work that Maristela had learned to "officiate and legalize business and work," as he'd say. He created a sole proprietorship corporation and registered a DBA. He learned about cash flow and how to curb income expectations by factoring taxes and a reasonable cushion of "incidental expenses."
Maristela has established several companies in the Philippines and in the United States, ranging from healthcare, to an online investment platform for startups.
PediaHealth is a clinic-network, with medical and healthcare operations on the West Coast (USA). PediaHealth began in the 1970s, founded and established, initially, as a private practice of Maristela's mother, Ofelia Maristela, who was then a resident in training at the University of California, San Francisco. In the 1980s, the practice grew its number of stakeholder providers. In the 1990s, PediaHealth restructured, segregating the medical professionals into one corporation, and the other as a business services corporation.
