There's 23 days left until demo day. We figured out almost every step to legally manufacture and ship prescription drugs to somebody's door. Then we forgot the one thing someone would need once it arrived.
Every legal step to manufacture and ship a prescription drug was solved, except the one thing a patient needs when the box arrives.

There's 23 days left until demo day. We figured out almost every step to legally manufacture and ship prescription drugs to somebody's door. And we forgot the one thing someone would need once it arrived. Inject 40 units under the skin using a U-100 syringe. But if you've never done this before, that sentence is useless. The syringe isn't packaging. It's part of the prescription. And look, we're supposed to send him a 31 gauge needle. It's so small you can't even feel it, but we didn't send him any needles at all. No syringe, no alcohol wipes, and new instruction. So he sat in his kitchen and learned how to inject himself off of YouTube. That was our wake up call. We'd spent all this time figuring out how to get prescription drugs legally to someone's door, but we hadn't spent enough time thinking about what happens once it gets there. They're like, am I going to get my prescription today? When can I expect it? And look, the syringe wasn't the only thing we missed. You can check where things stand here. If you click on that, nothing happens. That's supposed to be the patient. The patient portal didn't work. So today we started fixing the boring stuff. Syringes, alcohol wipes, clear instructions, patient portal that works. How many did we fulfill today? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight today? Yeah. And for the first time, let the software do its work. We are 23 days from Demo Day. We have 100 customers on the platform, 8 new today, and every single one of them is finding things we forgot. So come back tomorrow with 22 days left until Demo Day when a legendary copywriter reviews our AI slop website.
