“I assume that man in your slide deck is your husband?”

No, no he isn’t.
And why would you assume that? Yes he’s on the team as a Sales and Marketing adviser, but no, he’s not my husband. Would that change whether you’re interested in investing in the company I founded? He’s around about 56 years old, and I’m 27.

It is currently in a pilot with three UK care home groups, and the evaluations are looking great.
