Meeting #1 - missed; caught up via video.

Meeting #2 - questions for OSV: Atman Pandya

• connection for understanding health insurance industry - anyone I can pick brains?
  • Let me ask around - what specifically are you trying to understand?
  • Insurance companies (like vitality in the UK or MassMutual), can offer customers additional value beyond insurance products such as free medical screenings, discounts and rewards for maintaining a healthy and safe lifestyle - vitality for eg provide their customers with Apple watches and gives them both incentives and discounts/offers for maintaing a healthy lifestyle. I want to understand how such a collaboration can be realised - what the process is / how data is really used etc - nurfy could potentially be a product we sell through insurers, a GTM I would like to explore Atman Pandya
• manufacturing/distribution partner
  • • Any more details you can share?
  • currently, i am rapid prototyping, meaning everything i develop with nurfy is using 3d printing and off the shelf electronics. the next natural step would be to look into manufacturability so for example injection molding to stream line the production of the hard case of nurfy (instead of 3d printing) and likewise for the electronics, it would be amazing if we could establish a partnership with the chip manufacturers eg Esspresif or any other electronics/chip manufacturer. A nice collab would be with sony as they also have the gamificaion aspect aligned with nurfy

• input on content ideas for socials - any marketing guru I can be connected to?
  • Let me connect with a friend who’s just started his own agency (has led Marketing at other startups before, taking them to millions in users)
  • Thanks! Ive emailed and waiting to set up a call - stoked!

• feedback on a pitch deck -
  • Please send it to me, Patrick (patrick@osv.llc) and Chris (chris@osv.llc)

• IP lawyer connection
  • for this, I wanted to speak to an IP attorney within hardware / AI / Biotech - for utility and design patents on nurfy, ive spoken to a firm before and know that it is patentable but now thinking of proceeding and looking for someone to work with that has a good reputation and is startup-friendly costs :) or even better, someone that might want to get more involved as a mentor or rep of the startup is welcomed too!
