Greg-

Just wanted to thank you again for arranging a call for our portfolio company, Counsyl, with the appropriate people at Walmart.   We did the call this morning and it went very well.  The next steps are that the Counsyl team is going to go to Bentonville in the coming weeks to meet and discuss partnership opportunities in person.

I appreciate all your help.

Best,

Hunter

Greg,

I hope you and the family are well.   Been a while since we last caught up.

As I think you are aware from the last time we talked, we are just finishing up a fund raise for Rosemont Seneca's own growth equity fund, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP).  So far, RSTP’s largest investment to date has been in a company called Counsyl.   You may be familiar with Counsyl, but if not, it is a Silicon Valley company that is using software and robotics to disrupt the clinical genetics testing market place.  Their tests are 90% cheaper than the market incumbents while being more accurate and enjoying greater insurance coverage.  This all results in better health care for consumers.

I wanted to reach out to you to see if there might be a way to make Counsyl’s tests available at retail to Walmart’s customers.

With the growth of retail healthcare clinics and the commoditization of clinical testing, we believe the retail channel has great growth prospects for Counsyl and would bring their valuable test to a much greater population through retail with a paramount partner such at Walmart.  Generic testing is the fastest growing and most profitable growing segment of the clinical testing market.  And Counsyl’s test’s attract young mothers and families which are a valuable family shopping demographic for all retailers.

If this sounds at all like something you think Walmart would like to pursue, let me know and perhaps we could set up a call to discuss further or you could refer me to the appropriate person within Walmart.   I have attached a one pager that gives more background on Counsyl and the potential synergies in the retail space.

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.  Let me know when you are next in DC.  I would love to catch up soon in person.

Best,

Hunter
