Tummyzen: Soothing Yale's Burning Heart

Apparently Yalies have been suffering from an unusually large amount of heartburn—or at least, they’re interested in treating it.

The New Haven Register reported in an article yesterday that the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute invested $100,000 in Tummyzen, an antacid created by Eli Nutrition, Inc. Eli Nutrition, Inc. was founded by Yale School of Management students Hasan Ansari '14 and Yulia Khvan '14 and Yale College student Faisal Hamid '13. The Yale Entrepreneurial Institute set up the YEI Innovation Fund in September 2013 to provide funding to promising startups founded by Yale students.

"People are eager for new solutions," Ansari said in an interview with Yale News, "We are on our way to changing how America manages its heartburn." It is admirable that the founders of Eli Nutrition Inc. want to help people suffering from heartburn, but Flyby can’t help but suspect this is part of a larger problem at Yale. Perhaps Yalies' hearts have been burning with rage for Harvard students since 2006, the last time they won the Game.

Nevertheless, it’s heartwarming that the Yale administration is willing to donate so much money to help the suffering students in New Haven. Get better soon, Yale.
