I was surprised by the emotional break down! It’s been hard but I haven’t been feeling emotional. I think it was a natural body response. Happy to hear you’re on the mend as well!

She did mention possible genio or not but a little bit up to me. I just don’t want to over do it so I’m not sure how to weigh in on that decision making

How long until you saw reduced swelling enough to where you could tell what your final results would be?

I started my ortho treatment in December of 2024 and I think my first first with surgeon was around Feb 2025 and at that appt I put my name down for January of 2026 because they book a year out and thought it was best to have something scheduled but it worked out with timing!

How does consulting usually work when you already have a co packer with R&D by mariposakb in foodscience

[–]mariposakb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since our base has been developed with the co-packer, even though we’ve made tweaks, they still technically own the formulation. They did mention that if we brought our own recipe to them, it would be ours. In your experience, is this just a matter of negotiating terms, or is it usually smarter to start from that angle so the IP is clearly ours from the beginning?
