Season 1 | Episode 6: We hear from the 40th company to be accepted into Awesome Inc's Fellowship program, OmniLife. Eric shares the why behind OmniLife - an unfortunate career-ending motor vehicle accident left his friend (and co-founder) Dalton, a former University of Iowa football player, with paralysis in his right arm, in addition to family members being waitlisted for organ transplantations. His passion for medical software in hopes to influence medical support led to what the company is now today. OmniLife (formerly HealthTech Solutions) was founded in 2016 based on the need to make the organ procurement process more efficient. OmniLife's SaaS offers an ability to transplant additional organs by reducing donated organ waste. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kehof/message
