Pros

Amazing people and amazing mission! Management team and scientific advisors are highly accomplished people, who offer tremendous learning opportunities - every thing from how to run a business to connecting dots in science and business worlds. Among very few if not the only company who has two different but highly synergistic product lines- an app and nutritional supplements that require very different science and skills for product development. App customers would be enabled to incorporate healthy food choices with the supplements, while supplements customers can track how their supplement is working using the app. Excellent concept to address total human health and empower customers to take charge of their own health. Not a typical startup that deals with BOD and their expectations and worries about funding running out. Family office funding allows this start up to explore research without such worries and boundaries. CEO is an inspiring woman, who is very committed to the success of the company and is very generous about sharing her time, and knowledge she has accumulated from years of successful corporate and business ventures.

Cons

People are spread between multiple locations, which sometimes makes it tricky to coordinate. However, on-site team buildings and fun activities, team lunches etc keep people connected (despite their very different work functions - i.e., an app developer with a biology scientist), while also allowing tremendous opportunity for people to work remotely.

Thank you for the detailed review. We are currently having the entire local team work together one day week at HQ, and we love it when our remote team members join us for virtual activities and travel to the office for onsites.
