Saving lives with one small case.
This week on The STL Bucket List Show, host Luke Farrell sits down with Dani Wilder and Matt Bitner-Glindzicz, the founders of nCase Technologies — a St. Louis startup on a mission to make carrying naloxone (Narcan) as simple as carrying your keys.
What began as a tragic loss in college led to an idea that could change public health nationwide. Their patented naloxone keychain case is waterproof, discreet, temperature-resistant, and designed to increase the likelihood that people carry lifesaving medication with them.
In this episode, we cover:
- The opioid epidemic in America — and why young adults are the most impacted
- How a medical student and an engineer teamed up to rethink harm reduction
- The design process behind the nCase keychain and their early product testing
- Winning Arch Grants and scaling a mission-first startup
- The realities of building a company as partners (and fiancés)
- Why education, stigma reduction, and accessibility matter more than ever
- How St. Louis can support harm-reduction work right now
