I'm thrilled to share that @ThroneScience has raised $10M to advance our vision of building a smoke detector for colon cancer.
We started this company three years ago, and in that short period of time we built a world-class health tracker that our members often compare to Apple.
That's exactly what we were going for, and we're just getting started.
I am incredibly grateful for the support of our investors, my co-founders, our team, and, most importantly, our members.
In particular, I want to thank @BennyG49 and the team at Will Ventures, @KatieS for being our Day One, Fern Mandelbaum, Warren Shaeffer, Max Mullen, Tara Viswanathan, Justin Driscoll, Justin Mares, and all those whose belief have made this next chapter possible.
My younger brother recently said it best: twenty years ago, it was a crazy idea to sleep in a stranger's home or ride in a stranger's car.
In twenty years, it will be crazy not to have a camera in your toilet.
Throne has the unique opportunity to save a million lives. I cannot imagine a more meaningful way to spend my life than to work in the service of this mission.
Happy 250th birthday America!
I consider it an honor to be a citizen, and I’m proud to do what I can to make this country the best country in the world.
Onwards for the next 250 years!
I did it too dab-nab-it. I made a little agent orchestrator.
But it doesn't actually orchestrate. It dispatches. It just sets each agent on its way. That's it.
HIRING: @ThroneScience 's First Marketing Lead
👇 Tag someone who should see this, repost to amplify... or reach out if it’s you.
I’m Scott Hickle, co-founder and CEO of Throne, the first health wearable for your toilet.
We’re building technology that turns waste into wisdom — helping people understand their gut health and hydration effortlessly, with every flush.
In the near term, our goal is simple: help people better understand the stories their bodies are trying to tell them.
In the long term, our ambition is bold: to build the smoke detector for colon cancer that saves lives.
Each year, 900,000 people die from colorectal cancer — 50,000 in the U.S. alone. We believe early detection and daily awareness can change that.
Launching our first product in January 2026, Throne already has fully functional prototypes, world-class advisors from UChicago and MIT, partnerships with leading health influencers and organizations like the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, as well as a growing community of 5,000+ people ready to take control of their health.
And now, we’re hiring our first Marketing Lead to help grow this movement.
💼 The Role
As Throne’s first in-house marketing hire, you’ll own the end-to-end strategy and execution for how we reach, educate, and convert our customers.
You’ll work directly with me to build a marketing engine that’s equal parts data-driven experimentation and creative storytelling.
This role is for someone who loves testing, measuring, and iterating — but also knows that the best growth comes from authenticity, community, and brand trust.
You’ll shape how Throne shows up in the world — from paid ads and landing pages to influencer programs and partnerships — as we prepare for our upcoming product launch.
🚀 What You’ll Learn
By the end of your time here, you’ll have:
Helped launch Throne’s first consumer product
Grown our brand from 0 → 1 with trust and creativity
Learned how to balance storytelling, analytics, and growth in a new category of consumer health.
🧩 What Leads to Success
Curiosity — you love to test, learn, and build.
Precision — you turn data into decisions.
Creativity — you bring ideas to life through storytelling and design.
Mission — you believe better health starts with understanding our bodies.

You’re our first marketer. You got this.
I could not be more thrilled to share that Throne closed a $4M seed round led by @KatieS at @MoxxieVentures…
AND that we’ve been joined by a third co-founder, @JohnCapodilupo, Chief Product Officer.
Prior to Throne, John was co-founder and CTO of @WHOOP. He is also a very public advocate for IBD, as he has ulcerative colitis and sits the board of trustees for the @CrohnsColitisFn.
Between his professional experience building WHOOP and his personal experience with a chronic digestive disease, there just isn’t a more perfect person on Earth.
I gotta extend a very heartfelt THANK YOU 🙌 to Katie and John, ofc, and also to the many others who have supported us along the way — @TaraViswanathan, @jwmares, @lancearmstrong, @mikenemke, @swerdlin, @ericbahn, @MatiasNisenson, @nickcandito, @carterkev, @brian_blum1, @Austen, @Milankordestani, @brettrjackson and many others.
@ThroneScience is the most important thing I’ve ever worked on. I sincerely believe this device will improve health and one day save lives.
I am so lucky to get to wake up each day and work on something I love and believe in — I wouldn’t get to do it without your support. Thank you. 🙏
On New Year's Eve, millions of people open their Uber app to request a ride.
But in the early years of Uber, this wasn't just another night— this was our Super Bowl.
500+ cities. 24 hours. Record demand.
Here's how it all went down...
To monitor your cardiovascular and respiratory health, you have OURA, WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch, and dozen other options.
To monitor your gut health and hydration, you have @ThroneScience
I am so freaking proud of what we've built in just over a year.
When one of your best friends (@KaelinHooper ) co-founder is in town, you treat them like family. So good to meet you @ben_m_somers ! You boys are going to change the world of education and I can not wait to watch. https://t.co/XCMc9e5drp
The Gig Economy Revolution is coming, and it's bigger than you think.
Within a decade, 50% of the US population will be freelancers.
But here's the twist: They'll earn MORE than traditional employees.
Why? It all comes down to a simple equation...
