Do you have an alternate investment in this space or something? You've commented like 10 times with low quality content.
To spell this one out: Branding resonates with different groups of people. If the only brands that are in this space are ones that speak to non-people of color, by definition, the people of color wont see it, and by consequence, they wont have access to the treatments.
This applies to all things. Replace "people of color" with whatever you want. It's why there are "investment app for Gen Z" because the Merrill-Lynch doesn't reach anyone under 50. This is not rocket science, dude.
She didn't say anything about targeting, or not excluding, people of colour in their marketing. She just said having a brand is beneficial for them, and that confused me. Perhaps she said somewhere that they are targeting that group, if so I missed that.
I definitely don't have any investments in this space, I find it distasteful.
Appreciate the reply. Personally, I would rather hear your thoughts on why it's distasteful, seems like valuable discussion material. I got that impression from the comments and don't really know enough about the space to have an opinion. If you did, I missed it and I'm sorry.
tbh too many comments here are 'excited' about a business that is rather commonplace everywhere around the world, and is considered ethically ~dubious, since there are few cases where these cells are being used. Plus in past few years there were major advances in reprogramming live cells to back to various stages , and it seems that this is the future (partly the reason why investors invest in anti aging startups).
Agreed. As someone who has actually considered these services there are significant downsides not being presented here- not the least of which is the small number of actual use cases at the moment, especially for your own blood (which may demonstrate the same illness you’re trying to cure). I would have expected a bit more inquisitiveness from the audience here.
It just goes to show that being knowledgeable about technology doesn’t mean that you don’t have other significant blind spots.
