David White did not set out to build a company for farmers. His original vision for an ingestible camera tablet was aimed squarely at human medicine, specifically as a cheaper and less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopies and endoscopies. But somewhere along the way, White made a pivot that surprised even him: he turned the technology toward livestock.
Once he looked at the numbers in veterinary medicine, the logic was hard to argue with. There are roughly 91 million head of cattle in the United States, 7 million horses, and 5 million sheep. There are approximately 30,000 large animal veterinarians. That disproportion, a vast population of animals and a thin layer of specialists to care for them, is exactly the kind of structural gap that a well-designed technology can help close.
At the 2025 TEDCO Expo, White, CEO and founder of Tomorrow’s Bio Today, talked through the problem his company is solving, how TEDCO helped him get there, and why an industry that has long been overlooked by the technology sector is finally starting to get some attention.
