Short Summary
Irish entrepreneur Gareth Sheridan (also known as Gareth Kelly), founder of Neutraband (formerly Avera), discusses developing abuse-deterrent technology for opioid patches by coating them with denatonium benzoate and capsaicin to prevent abuse and accidental exposure, starting with fentanyl as a proof of concept. He shares his bootstrapped business journey from Ireland to a $20M valuation with only $40 in the bank, surviving an SEC investigation, and briefly running for President of Ireland as the youngest nominee. Sheridan emphasizes his philosophy that "with the right mindset, there's no such thing as failure—it's only feedback."
