Executive Summary
Not-for-profit start-up Diagnostics for All is set to begin a field trial in Kenya in March to evaluate a postage stamp-sized disposable diagnostic device to assess liver function in AIDS and TB patients. But the company eschews the notion that it's a charitable endeavor. Rather, it has crafted a licensing deal and business model that anticipates leveraging its not-for-profit work into a sustainable commercial First World business.
