Continuing a trend of firms focusing on minute body systems, a company called EBT has raised $10 million for "pelvic health". Apparently they use neuromodulation to calm an overactive bladder. I would like to announce that I am starting a new company and would happily take even $5 million in financing for it. I have noticed that people often have problems in the webby spaces between their toes and fingers. So I am starting a digital web health company. Notice I already have two of the necessary buzz words in there. I also intend to be disruptive and I will use analytics and big data and I am sure machines can learn something about this and any intelligence applied to the area will definitely be artificial. Send checks or Paypal, Applepay, whatever, as soon as possible. I guarantee the same return you will get from investing in other companies with similar descriptions of their business.
