Our Origin Story
Special Operations
The catalyst for Foothold Labs were numerous special operations missions that Sean and his SEAL teammates conducted in remote environments. These missions often required a portable, easy-to-use, and highly sensitive diagnostic tool to analyze unknown substances or screen host nation partner forces and civilians for infectious diseases so they could be adequately treated.
The world is only getting smaller and the need to rapidly, yet cost-effectively screen for chemical or biological threats has never been more apparent.
The mission of Foothold Labs is to develop an artificial intelligence enabled next generation rapid diagnostic platform.
