"People would literally laugh in my face... no one has an investment memo for dog longevity."
Loyal CEO Celine Halioua (@celinehalioua) is pioneering her own startup category at @loyalfordogs, raising $250M+ and running a clinical trial with 1,300 pets to secure FDA approval for drugs to help our furry friends live 2 years longer or more 🐕
But ask her for her Upstart Moment, and she says her journey's been full of them -- from investor doubts to looking different from the typical Silicon Valley deep tech founder 🔬
