“This is a great idea. It’ll be a long road, but if you do it this will be a fantastic model,” said Jon Silverman, the Senior Vice President of Product for Grove Collaborative. With that encouragement, we were on our way to building the world’s first refillable medicine system.

How Do We Measure Success With Grove?
