Forward Thinking Founders

When I learned about Canairy, I was amazed by what I was looking at and had to get to know one of the founders. After talking to Emily, Cofounder and COO, I was not disappointed. Canairy is a product that's able to tell is someone has a respiratory illness by getting an input of just a cough. This wide-ranging conversation is not one to miss.

What is Forward Thinking Founders?

Forward Thinking Founders is a founder podcast where we interview high potential founders from networks like Y Combinator, The Thiel Fellowship, Product Hunt, Twitter, etc. and brings to light what they're building for the world. Think of it like the opposite of How I Built This, where we interview founders before they are successful, then if they are, we have a moment in time we can look back on in the early days. Does the model work? Look at our early interviews and you'll have your answer.
