Coprata is developing a smart toilet that provides health feedback on liquid/solid waste such as key digestive health indicators. While their first version is focused executing a patented gut-health test, they are working on future features that included early detection of colon cancer, Crohn’s disease, and colitis.
The Triangle Tweener Fund strategy is to build an index – smaller investments in a relatively large number of companies. At the current fund size this translates to 10-15 investments a quarter, or 40-60 a year. If you’ve been involved with traditional venture funds (picking winners) this pace seems impossible. Trust us, it’s not easy, but it’s definitely possible and the opportunity is there.
