And now for this week’s prescription:

On this week’s dose, (1:52) we start with Oishii, the world’s largest indoor vertical strawberry farm, and their $134M Series B. Then (10:40), we break down RapidSOS, a startup that harnesses artificial and human intelligence to fuse life-saving data from over 540M devices in our nation's homes, schools, trains, cars, buildings and personal devices, and their $150M Series C. Lastly (17:24), we close out this week’s dose with a Pillfolio Update as we cover Liquid Death’s $67M funding round as the killer canned water company continues to murder the competition.
