Times finance reporter Rob Copeland discusses his reporting on Billy Evans' new blood testing startup, Hemanthus, which targets pets with lower regulatory thresholds and raised about $3 million.
“a year ago-ish, someone told me that they heard that Billy Evans had a blood testing startup. And I thought that was the wildest thing I'd ever heard.”
