Recently, I was on the MIT campus and had several people tell me how every time they log on LinkedIn, LymeAlert has so many amazing updates. Honestly, sometimes I hesitate posting because lately, YES we have had a ton of wins. But in the background, we are applying, and trying and failing SO many times before we get those YES answers. So what we see here, is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath the surface are weeks of rejections, "not yets" or "that's not quite in our thesis." So hang in there. Keep applying. Believe in what you are building and sell your "why" with conviction. We're about to move out of the lab and into a CRO for production development. It feels SURREAL that this thing that we've 3D printed, hunkered over in the lab and imagined, is going to be a real thing that people can buy and engage with very soon! How is this possible? Amazing Angel investors. More than 40 of them, in fact, via our SPV on Play Money! whose investor network led by Cheryl Kellond πŸ’Ž and Tina Hashemnia have responded with such huge enthusiasm, that we kept it open longer than we initially planned to accommodate all of the inquiries. But this is truly it. It's time to deploy the funds. 4 more days. This ends July 3rd. Link here: https://lnkd.in/eh6SDJik Ticks are spreading. Our technology covers human, pet and agriculture. Markets are growing as ticks spread. We have CROs, Distributors and CDMOs and telehealth lined up. Your FOMO should be strong. Let's GOOOO!!!!
