Market Insight
For me, smell-to-x is translunar and massively underrated.
As new vocabulary enters everyday speech, it names new mechanisms and quietly structures how we conceptualize what we (likely unconsciously) believe to be possible.
The founders are solving a problem that once plagued them, leveraging their lived experience for product development.

In some ways, solutions to problems can become reinforcing feedback loops themselves. The market identifies a pain point, but in the process of implementing a solution, new and unintended frictions emerge.
The questions that demand answers evolve over time, which is why it is essential to first understand the problem to be solved. To me, the intersection of precisely identifying problems and doing so repeatedly over time is deeply compelling.
