What if the secret to startup success was a 1986 Sony Walkman? In this episode, Preston Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of ProPetDX, will make the case for foolproof productivity fueled by cassette tapes—but of course, that’s just part of the story. Join us as we dive into how ProPetDX is leveraging multiple aspects of biology and AI-powered analysis to transform early cancer detection in dogs, cats, horses, and beyond. You’ll also hear about the unique challenges of launching a biotech startup in the veterinary space, and how Preston balances the joys and demands of entrepreneurship with the joys and demands of family life.
