Shots work. But who wants years of shots?
A course can mean years of clinic visits, needles, and observation time.[3]
clinic routineImmunotherapy is a long game: months to years, not days. Easily puts that long-term therapy inside brushing, a behavior people already have.
Immunotherapy can help. The hard part is keeping people on a multi-year routine long enough for the therapy to matter.
A course can mean years of clinic visits, needles, and observation time.[3]
clinic routineEvery day, the user has to remember a separate dose, hold it under the tongue, avoid swallowing, and repeat it for years.[9]
separate daily routineBoth routes ask people to carry a separate treatment routine for years. In real life, most do not make it to the end.
Rounded midpoints of published real-world persistence ranges at year three, the minimum recommended treatment period. Full immunotherapy protocols generally run three to five years; sublingual data include drops and tablets.[5]
When life is already heavy, a treatment plan that asks for more appointments, more reminders, or more effort is easier to abandon.
In one study of patients who stopped allergy shots early, cost and travel were common reasons. Only 4% cited lack of effect.[4]
It is not another antihistamine. It is long-term allergy therapy delivered through toothpaste, so the treatment can happen while people brush.
Allergy therapy inside it.
The customer still brushes. The therapy moves into a moment they already repeat, instead of becoming another task to remember.
The go-to-market plan is DTC. The physician-supported history is used here as evidence for retention and safety: over ten years, 3,000+ patients have gone through the protocol, company records show 0 reported adverse events, and more than 50 medical practices across the U.S. prescribe Easily.[M][15]
The outside evidence points in the same direction: people say the therapy helped, and roughly one-year adherence stayed high when treatment was delivered through toothpaste.[13][14]
Different studies, different definitions. This is use/adherence context, not protocol retention.
Under the prior Allerdent name, the toothpaste approach was covered by mainstream press and local video segments. These links are public context; the clinical claims above stay tied to studies and company records.[20]
Sleep, exercise, walks, dinner: routines last because they fit into life. Easily makes allergy therapy fit the same way.
The simple idea is this: long-term therapy only matters if people can stay with it. The easier the routine, the better the chance they keep going.
Easily is aligned around life's rituals not fighting them.
All immunotherapy needs time. The model should be read as protocol completion: 80% active after year one, and 65% finishing the full four-year course.
Observed year-one protocol signal from company data.[M]
The source benchmark is 75% completion in the largest physician-supported practice; the DTC model discounts it to 65%. That is roughly 0.9% average monthly attrition over the protocol.[M]
3,000+ patients have gone through the source protocol over ten years, with 0 reported adverse events in company records.[M]
Retention comparison: Easily is modeled at 80% active after year one and 65% completion at year four. Published persistence endpoints used for context show allergy shots around 38% to 64% at year one and 6% to 19% at year three; sublingual therapy around 22% to 27% at year one and 5% to 8% at year three.
Easily shows modeled protocol completion: 80% at year one and 65% at year four. Shots and sublingual therapy use broad published persistence endpoints for context; lines connect endpoints, not monthly readings.[5]
The Year 3 planning case after the $25M growth round is $10M in monthly revenue, or about 100K active subscribers. The larger $250M annualized case needs about 208K active subscribers, still only about 0.25% of the diagnosed seasonal allergy market.[F]
About 100K active subscribers gets to $10M in monthly revenue, or $120M annualized. That is roughly 0.12% of the 82.8M diagnosed seasonal allergy market, or about one out of every 830 diagnosed sufferers.[F]
Habit drives retention. Retention creates paid months. Paid months create gross profit. That is the simple economic story.
At $100/month and about $40/month in service cost, each active month contributes about $60 in the launch case. The four-year completion model gives about 36.9 retained months before any post-protocol maintenance or margin-expansion upside.
Once acquisition cost is paid back, each retained month adds cash the business can reinvest in better channels, onboarding, fulfillment, service, and support. The model creates time to improve instead of requiring every part of the system to be fully optimized on day one.
Gross profit shows the first payback. The stricter payback number also includes operating costs.
LTV/CAC compares the gross profit expected from a customer over the modeled treatment period with the cost of acquiring that customer. The 8.9x figure uses modeled treatment-period gross profit and launch CAC.[M]
Each new customer costs cash before payback. The $500K at month zero and $2M at month six give the company room to improve acquisition, onboarding, fulfillment, service, and support. Once that system is repeatable, the $25M growth round funds the push toward about 100K active subscribers and $10M MRR by Year 3.
At $100/month and about $40/month in service cost, each active customer contributes about $60/month in gross profit and about $30/month after operating costs. The first $2.5M is for launch learning and optimization. The $25M round then funds scale while customer cash is reinvested and acquisition cost, onboarding, fulfillment, service, and protocol completion improve.[M]
The first tranche is not vanity scale. It funds early acquisition, onboarding, service setup, fulfillment learning, and the first read on retention.
The second round turns the first tranche into a repeatable growth push while still reserving cash for carry, inventory, service, and support.
The $25M round follows the first $2.5M only after the launch system is working. At the modeled CAC range, that round is equivalent to 100K-125K gross customer acquisitions before accounting for operating reserves, timing, churn, and cash reinvestment.[M]
At $10M MRR, Easily would be at roughly $120M annualized revenue. A 3x revenue exit implies about $360M of enterprise value. If the first $2.5M is diluted to roughly 8%-12% ownership after the $25M growth round, that is about $29M-$43M of proceeds, or roughly 11x-17x over three years.
The 3x case sits inside recent comparable-company evidence: Talkspace was announced around 3.6x revenue, Eucalyptus around 2.6x run-rate revenue, and 2026 top-quartile health/wellness revenue multiples span about 2x-6.5x.[M][16]
The market is crowded, but most options force a trade-off. Zyrtec and other antihistamines are easy and familiar, but still temporary relief inside a large recurring allergy-cost burden. Shots, drops, and tablets can change the disease, but they add friction. Easily aims for the hard corner: disease-changing intent, inside a routine people already keep.[12][19]
The question is not whether other treatments work. Many do. The question is which option changes the disease while fitting real life.

Company-held IP around allergy treatment in toothpaste protects the format that changes adherence: immunotherapy in brushing, not another reminder, visit, or drop ritual.[M]
3,000+ patients have gone through the protocol in a physician-supported setting. The DTC model uses that as the evidence base, then discounts the four-year completion benchmark from 75% to 65%.[M]
Completion is why customers care. Protected format is why the same answer is harder to copy. Five issued U.S. patents across two families cover allergy desensitization through toothpaste and the compositions, kits, and formulation methods that make the format work.[21]
Easily has two execution jobs: preserve the clinical logic of the original product, and turn it into a repeatable DTC healthcare business. The founding team is built around those jobs.
DTC prescription growth and healthcare-commerce execution. Founder and former CEO of Rugiet, a men's health telehealth company he grew from launch to more than $250M in revenue. Earlier sales and marketing leadership at Intel.
LinkedInProduct, platform history, and operating discipline. Former MD at Allovate, the company behind the original physician-supported Easily product. Most recently led a turnaround at Maxim, taking the property from $8M to $23M in annual revenue in a year.
LinkedInIt is compelling because the therapy is long, and toothpaste is already a habit. Easily puts proven immunology inside a daily ritual that most people already do without thinking.

Allovate IP Portfolio Overview, September 2026 (company-provided), cross-checked against public patent records. The first family includes U.S. Patent 9,271,899, covering allergy desensitization through allergen-containing toothpaste used during toothbrushing. The second family includes U.S. Patent 10,485,867, U.S. Patent 10,967,059, U.S. Patent 11,980,664, and U.S. Patent 12,527,861, covering toothpaste compositions, kits, and formulation methods for delivering allergens to the oral mucosa. Public family records also list related international counterparts. Patent scope and status should be confirmed by patent counsel.
Market funnel math: 82.8M = 268.9M adults x 25.2% diagnosed seasonal allergy prevalence + 72.9M children x 20.6% diagnosed seasonal allergy prevalence. The base is seasonal/environmental allergy, not food allergy. The funnel follows standard investor market-sizing practice: start with a broad potential market, narrow to the portion the product can reasonably serve, and then size the near-term case from a bottom-up subscriber and revenue plan. See Carta's market-sizing guide, CFI's TAM/SAM/SOM guide, and Pear VC's market-sizing guide. 58.0M = 82.8M x 70% model reduction for likely treatment fit. 43.5M = 58.0M x 75% model reduction for likely intake clearance before physician review. The 70% and 75% numbers are model assumptions, not direct epidemiology claims. We use these reductions because immunotherapy should match clinically relevant allergens confirmed by testing, and some medication, pregnancy, immune, asthma, anaphylaxis, and eosinophilic-esophagitis histories can affect candidacy or route selection. See sensitization context in [11] and the 2024 AAO-HNSF inhalant immunotherapy guideline. 15M = 43.5M x 34.35% Census $145K+ household-income share, or about 14.9M rounded to 15M. 100K active subscribers = $10M MRR / $100 monthly subscription. $120M annualized revenue = $10M MRR x 12 months. 0.12% = 100K / 82.8M. About one in 830 = 82.8M / 100K. 208K = $250M / ($100 monthly subscription x 12 months). 0.25% = 208K / 82.8M. About one in 400 = 82.8M / 208K.
Company model inputs and course estimates: $100/month price, about $40/month service cost, $250 launch CAC, mature underlying CAC modeled toward about $200, 60% launch gross margin, gross margin path toward 70% by Year 3 and 75% past Year 5 at scale, operating costs modeled at 30% of revenue, 80% year-one retention, a 75% source four-year completion benchmark discounted to 65% for the DTC case, roughly 0.9% average monthly attrition over the four-year protocol, protocol-weighted model of about 36.9 retained treatment months before post-protocol maintenance upside, about $2,214 gross profit before acquisition cost in the launch case, 8.9x launch gross-profit LTV/CAC, 4.2-month launch gross payback and about 3.3-month mature gross payback. Cash left after service and operating costs is about $30/month, implying about 8.3-month cash payback at $250 CAC and 6.7-month cash payback at mature ~$200 CAC. The capital plan has two stages: $500K at month zero plus $2M at month six for $2.5M of launch capital, followed by a target $25M growth round once the system is repeatable. The first $500K case assumes about $250K goes to acquisition, or roughly 1,000 customers at $250 CAC. The cumulative $2.5M launch case reserves capital for operations and models roughly 6,000 total customers. The $25M round equals 100,000 gross acquisitions at $250 CAC or 125,000 at mature ~$200 CAC if every dollar went to acquisition; these are acquisition-equivalent figures, not an active-subscriber forecast. The operating plan also allows for reserves, timing, churn, and reinvested customer cash, with a Year 3 target of about $10M MRR, $120M annualized revenue, and 100K active subscribers. The $250M annualized / 208K active-subscriber case is longer-term scale upside and is not presented as the direct day-one purchase capacity of the $25M round. The illustrative IRR framework treats the first $2.5M of launch capital as invested upfront, assumes a Year 3 exit, and assumes the $25M growth round dilutes early ownership to about 8%-12%. The on-page ~125%-160% IRR range rounds the 3.0x revenue case: $120M annualized revenue, $360M implied enterprise value, and 8%-12% ownership, producing about $28.8M-$43.2M of proceeds, or roughly 11.5x-17.3x over three years. Sensitivity context: at $120M annualized revenue, the 1.5x / 3.0x / 4.0x revenue cases imply $180M / $360M / $480M enterprise value. At 8%-12% ownership, those cases imply roughly 79%-105%, 126%-159%, and 149%-184% annual IRR, respectively. Other model support includes source protocol history, 3,000+ patients through the protocol, 0 reported adverse events in company records, market-funnel assumptions used in the funnel math, and final valuation and financing terms left TBD.
