Summary
Shocked at how diabetes was treated in the U.S., Jeff Dachis turned his business acumen toward the type 1 and 2 diabetes world. Now the co-founder of RazorFish is the founder and CEO of One Drop. One Drop is clearly a passion for Jeff and his enthusiasm shows in this episode. One Drop is a diabetes tracking app, a blood glucose meter, a community and a new business model for suppling meters and test strips. Looks like diabetes picked on the wrong entrepreneur!
