And now for this week’s prescription:

On this week’s dose, first up, (1:50) we have Franshares, hot off a $4.1M seed round led by Chicago Ventures. That startup makes investing in franchises as easy as investing in stocks or mutual funds. Then you’ll hear about (6:48) Applied Carbon, a startup that turns agricultural crop residue into biochar to minimize agricultural carbon emissions, and their $21.5M Series A led by TO VC. Lastly, (11:46) stick with us for a Pillfolio Update on Oats Overnight, as the high-protein, spoon-free oatmeal company we covered on episode 58 is back in the headlines with their $35M Series B led by Enlightened Hospitality Investments.
