Eargo, Inc., Q1 2021 Earnings Call, May 12, 2021

Our topic in this episode is “Managing through Crises,” and our guest is Christian Gormsen, CEO of Eargo. Eargo is a direct-to-consumer medical device company dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with hearing loss. Their innovative products and go-to-market approach address the major challenges of traditional hearing aid adoption. Eargo hearing aids are virtually invisible, rechargeable, completely-in-canal, FDA regulated, exempt Class I device for the treatment of hearing loss. The Eargo consumer-first solution offers hearing aids at approximately half the cost of competitors and can be purchased through traditional channels in the United States. Eargo went public with an IPO in October of 2020. This conversation between Ben Capell of Peterson Partners and Christian was part of a virtual event with many of our portfolio CEOs, and we wanted to share an adapted version of that conversation with our Running Stuff listeners. The portfolio companies identified and described herein do not represent all of the portfolio companies purchased, sold, or recommended for funds advised by Peterson Partners. The reader should not assume that an investment in the portfolio companies identified was or will be profitable. Any opinions, projections, forecasts, and estimates contained in this production are necessarily speculative in nature, are based upon certain assumptions, and subject to change without notice. It can be expected that some or all of such assumptions will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. This production is not an offer to buy or sell any investments. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Like many entrepreneurs, Christian Gormsen admits he didn’t start his career with a passion for his current field. Instead, he backed into the hearing industry from his work in investment banking and consulting, and eventually wound up working at the world's 4th largest hearing aid company. Christian realized just how stigmatized hearing aids are and became determined to address this. In 2012, he was first connected to Eargo while doing advisory work. Unlike other traditional hearing aids, Eargo’s products are basically invisible, comfortable, rechargeable, removable, and sold directly to consumers rather than via physicians. After being a board member for about 3 years, Christian was asked to lead Eargo as CEO through a challenging time in 2016, and by the end of 2017, he had achieved a four-fold increase in sales and the company has since gone public. In this interview with host Geoff Pardo, Christian shares his story of entering the hearing industry and then joining Eargo, various unique aspects about the company compared to traditional hearing aid manufacturers that have led to their success, achieving cognitive diversity via cultural diversity, and the effect on the company’s personnel after its recent transition to being public.
