ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our story began with a vision to revolutionize harm reduction.
Our mission is to empower humans to make safer choices with to drug use.
At Underdose, we're more than just a company – we're a movement driven by passion, fueled by innovation, and guided by a relentless pursuit of saving lives. Our journey began when Underdose’s founder, Tatum Verona, lost three classmates to fentanyl within her first three weeks of university. Since then, fentanyl poisonings have become the leading cause of death among Americans 18 to 45.
Driven by the belief that harm reduction takes a village, Underdose assembled a team of like-minded individuals dedicated to fostering a strong community and collectively creating the best product possible. Since then, it has become our community’s mission to revolutionize harm reduction and create a product that truly addresses the needs of its users. We understand the challenges our target audience faces because we are members of that audience! We've been in your shoes and know firsthand the importance of creating a solution that people will use and genuinely want.
We listened. The current harm reduction tools are simply unrealistic, unreliable, and often cumbersome. Not to mention, their lack of portability and discretion makes them impractical for most users. So, we decided it was time for a change…
We set out to design the Underdose card, the world’s first user-friendly fentanyl detection tool: no additional tools, extra steps, or guesswork. Underdose is a credit-card-sized, all-in-one fentanyl test, that provides anyone, anywhere, peace of mind, empowers informed decision-making, and most importantly, has the power to prevent overdoses before they occur.
Underdose is for everyone. Underdose at its core, is a community of people who care.
Together, we can make a difference, one test at a time.
My journey began during my first weeks of college when fentanyl took the lives of three of my classmates. Motivated by this tragedy and fueled by a deep sense of purpose, I became determined to address the pressing issue of drug safety. I soon embarked on a mission to create a solution that could prevent these accidental poisonings.
Utilizing my background in healthcare and innovation, I set out to develop Underdose, the world's first user-friendly fentanyl testing kit. Armed with a vision to make a tangible difference in the lives of my generation, I poured my heart and soul into bringing this innovative solution to fruition.
With unwavering dedication and a commitment, I aim to build a strong community and ultimately create the best product possible, one that not only has the power to save lives but fosters a sense of collective responsibility in addressing the opioid epidemic.
Today, as I stand at the helm of Underdose, I am humbled by the support and encouragement of those who share in my vision. Together, we are making strides towards a safer, more compassionate future—one where harm reduction takes center stage and every individual has access to the resources they need to make informed choices.
Please join me on this journey as we continue to innovate, advocate, and empower communities worldwide. Together, we can turn the tide against the opioid crisis and create lasting change for generations to come.
