The landing page is very confusing. I highly recommend taking a close look at apps like mulesoft and zapier to benchmark your landing page copy. It sounds exciting, but I got confused as I viewed the page. Godspeed.

Is this one of those incidentaloma things or are a lot of people actually living very toxic lives? When you did tests on 100 people's houses, were they surprised by the results enough to pay you for more data? There's enough fear

What are your thoughts on Bayes Impact? In the world of data science, 99% of the problem is defining the problem. There's huge armies of data scientists ready to tackle well defined problems. How do you hope to do a really good job of

VR is becoming commodotized, framing the problem for VR is the really tough part that requires the hard work. Similar to the BTC problem. Cool tech, finding applications is tough..... There's a lot of people trying to do the same thing

Very interesting, Dandruff is widely linked to fungus with Malassezia being the most prevalent species and cause. What is really interesting is if you dig deeper into the data you can find that these fungus eat certain oils in sebum leaving

The books you're offering up have a ridiculously difficult readability. How do you plan to change that? What languages will you target first and why? I'm quadralingual as well and blog about language stuff once a year or so. Holle
