And now for this week’s prescription:

On this week’s dose, we begin (1:33 ) with Roon, a digital health startup aiming to replace “Dr. Google” with trusted doctor-driven video content, fresh off a $15M Series A. Next (7:54 ), we spotlight Slip Robotics, the Atlanta-based innovator transforming logistics with its SlipBot Automated Loading Robot, and their $28M Series B. Finally (16:18 ), we turn to Boom Supersonic, the aerospace pioneer securing over $100M to fund "Symphony," its first supersonic jet engine prototype.
