Hey you!

I'm Grant, co-founder of Goodlabs. Our story began in a New York City doctor's office, where a random blood test led to a surprising diagnosis: I have genetic hemochromatosis, a condition I've unknowingly had my whole life.

This means my body can't properly process iron, which had been silently accumulating in my organs. The solution? I now donate blood once a week (do not try this at home) to remove excess iron from my system. At the same time, I had to run around the city checking in with specialists about my iron levels, getting poked and prodded multiple times every week. I couldn’t understand why, if there was already a needle in my arm during donation, they couldn’t just run the blood tests. Here I was, desperately needing regular blood work to monitor my condition, while blood centers were desperately calling for new donors. Two problems with the same transaction: putting needles in arms.

So I quit my job, convinced my smartest friend to do the same, and now trying to make Goodlabs a reality. Since starting, we've had an outpouring of support from our thousands of early users, donors, and partners. Goodlabs saves lives, and it wouldn't be possible without them. So for that, we're forever grateful. Do good, feel better.
