He attended Tulane University, where he studied business and entrepreneurship. While in college, Gestetner founded Fuel Our Heroes, a charity that raised money for healthcare workers at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, Harry Gestetner and Simon Pompan founded Fanfix, a creator subscription platform aimed at Gen Z influencers and fans, while they were in college. The platform allowed creators to earn revenue by posting exclusive content to paying subscribers. Gestetner sold Fanfix in June 2023 to ecommerce company SuperOrdinary for a reported $65 million.

Personal life Gestetner lives in Los Angeles, California. He is the great-great grandson of inventor David Gestetner, who invented the Gestetner duplicator.
Gestetner has said that scaling his first company came at a personal cost, recalling that he was “working like a dog and neglecting every other area of my life,” an experience that later drove his focus on sleep, performance and recovery with the founding of Orion Sleep.
