Forward Thinking Founders is a founder podcast where we interview high potential founders from networks like Y Combinator, The Thiel Fellowship, Product Hunt, Twitter, etc. and brings to light what they're building for the world. Think of it like the opposite of How I Built This, where we interview founders before they are successful, then if they are, we have a moment in time we can look back on in the early days. Does the model work? Look at our early interviews and you'll have your answer. Language: en Genres: Business, Careers, Entrepreneurship Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

975 - Building The Whoop For Your Poop, with Scott Hickle (Throne)
Episode 975
Monday, 6 April, 2026
Scott Hickle, co-founder and CEO of Throne Science, joins Forward Thinking Founders to talk about building the world's first hands-free gut health tracker — a clip-on toilet device that monitors digestive health, hydration, and prostate health automatically with every flush. Scott shares how the idea started at a poker game in Austin, why his mom (a geriatrician) was the unlikely catalyst for the pivot, and how they went from a Raspberry Pi in a Tupperware box to a consumer product shipping today. We get into the science of stool consistency, urine osmolality, and why your prostate sounds different when it's struggling — plus the long-term vision of building the first continuous cancer screening device for six types of cancer.
