How Ezalife Is Improving Life for Children With Feeding Tubes | Jeff “Fuzzy” Wenzel.
In this episode of Invst Guru, host Jeff “fuzzy” Wenzel sits down with John Allen, CEO, and Kara Fagan, CMO of Ezalife, to discuss how their simple but powerful medical device is helping families reduce risk, stress, and disruption in everyday life.
Ezalife has developed an FDA-exempt securement device designed to stabilize G-tubes, allowing children to move, play, attend school, and heal with fewer complications.

📊 Key growth metrics including CAC, referrals, and parent advocacy.
🧠 Why real-world caregiver feedback drives adoption?
💰 How does equity crowdfunding fit into their fundraising strategy?
📈 The long-term vision for hospital adoption and insurance reimbursement.
John and Kara also share the realities of building a medical device company, navigating FDA registration, manufacturing at scale, and breaking into hospital procurement systems.
