In this episode of Untold – The Best Kept Secrets of Utah, host Jon Spiesman sits down with Ben Cahoon, CEO of Techcyte, a groundbreaking digital pathology company that began its journey solving an unlikely problem: the “fecal tsunami” in veterinary diagnostics.

Ben shares the wild story of how Techcyte started by scanning cat and dog feces with AI—earning him the unofficial title of "fecal innovator"—and grew into a multi-industry digital diagnostics powerhouse. From mold detection to veterinary labs to collaborating with the Mayo Clinic, Techcyte is quietly becoming the go-to platform for clinical, veterinary, and environmental diagnostics worldwide.

Ben reflects on his journey from Intel product manager to serial entrepreneur, building everything from edtech to turbochargers to a fintech startup in Luxembourg. He also dives into Techcyte’s fully remote work culture, powered by the GitLab Remote Manifesto and an evergreen employee handbook. His passion for adrenaline sports like backcountry snowboarding and mountain biking helps him find balance—and focus—in the chaos of entrepreneurship.

Whether you're building with AI, scaling remote teams, or just love a good Utah startup story, this episode delivers.
