The people at Kinsa are determined to build a globally impactful healthcare company that is literally mapping human health, diseases, outbreaks and more. Through their "connected, smart thermometer" and a couple other products more than 1 million people are benefiting from their new technologies. The company is also using their anonymous data to help schools, cities and companies better understand the health of their students, residents and employees. Kinsa is based in San Francisco, has 30 employees and has raised $29 million from amazing investors like Founder Collective, IA Ventures, FirstMark and Kleiner Perkins.

In this interview I chatted with Inder Singh, solo-founder of Kinsa Health about his motivation behind starting this company, what did his career look like before Kinsa, why is human health mapping such a huge market opportunity, what have been the biggest challenges, how do they handle the manufacturing, where are their products sold, what is the price point, have they started expanding internationally, how long did it take them to get through product development and the necessary regulations, where does he see Kinsa in 3 years and much more.
