Christine Spraker & Dr. Aki Alzubaidi are the Co-CEO's of Eon Health, a data science company that is on a mission to defy diseases by ensuring the right data reaches the right people at the right time. Eon Health is notably backed by Mark Cuban and recently raised a $16M series A led by Integrity Growth Partners. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Eon has over 100 employees and is quickly growing to help healthcare providers be proactive in diagnosing life threatening diseases sooner to ultimately save lives.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Be Persistent: Dr. Aki emailed Mark Cuban over 100x before he finally responded and ultimately invested a year and half later.

  2. Focus: Talented individuals want to join a company that is clear on their mission and where they are going. Talent focuses on desired results, not distractions

  3. Raise Capital Wisely: One of the best decisions Christine & Dr. Aki made was not raising a large round of funding until they had product market fit and could scale from there.
