Genevieve Down | Guardalin

Describe your company: Guardalin aims to reduce the burden for owners and their diabetic cats. With Guardalin's once-weekly injectable insulin to manage diabetic cats and their owners, get their lives back.

Why did you apply to Race To Revenue? What are you hoping to get out of this experience? I hope that Race to Revenue will empower Guardalin to take steps forward with the necessary funding and planning for pilot studies of our insulin formulation in our target species.

Where were you born? What is an interesting fact about your hometown? I am from Savannah, GA. I *think* it's supposedly the most haunted city in America.

Would you rather go back in time or be transported to the future? I would rather be transported to the future for sure. I'm glad to live in the iPhone and iced coffee age.

Who is the fictional character you have the most in common with, and why? I really like Kendall Roy from Succession. I'm not sure that he's relatable at all, but for some reason, I always rooted for him on the show!

Lastly, what do you want to learn more about, relating to business development in general or your own company/venture specifically? I want to learn more about how to take a pharmaceutical for companion animals from conception, through testing and regulation, and through to launch.
