• The genesis of her idea was, that as a mother of three, she was burning a lot of time taking time off from work, going to the doctor, then the pharmacy when it was pretty clear that strep throat may be present. 36MM doctor visits for strep each year- split 50-50 kids and adults

• She highlights the time and expense necessary to get a medical device approved

• Why Checkable is opting to go to brick & mortar right away vs a DTC strategy

• How to think through taking on investors when you are a pre-revenue business

• A fan of the Cheers brand (note: we are too!)
