nCase Technologies – The STL Startup Making Lifesaving Tools Easy to Carry

Lucas & Marissa Farrell Episode 196

Saving lives with one small case.

This week on The STL Bucket List Show, host Luke Farrell sits down with Dani Wilder and Matt Bitner-Glindzicz, the founders of nCase Technologies — a St. Louis startup on a mission to make carrying naloxone (Narcan) as simple as carrying your keys.

What began as a tragic loss in college led to an idea that could change public health nationwide. Their patented naloxone keychain case is waterproof, discreet, temperature-resistant, and designed to increase the likelihood that people carry lifesaving medication with them.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The opioid epidemic in America — and why young adults are the most impacted
  • How a medical student and an engineer teamed up to rethink harm reduction
  • The design process behind the nCase keychain and their early product testing
  • Winning Arch Grants and scaling a mission-first startup
  • The realities of building a company as partners (and fiancés)
  • Why education, stigma reduction, and accessibility matter more than ever
  • How St. Louis can support harm-reduction work right now
