Join us for Startup Happy Hour powered by StartupSac and the Carlsen Center with tCheck CEO Peichen Chang and COO Bob Whitson
StartupSac and the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sac State welcome two successful startup leaders for September’s Startup Happy Hour — Engineered Medical Technologies (aka tCheck) CEO Peichen Chang and COO Bob Whitson.
Engineered Medical Technologies is the maker of tCheck, a device that uses a spectral analysis to test concentrations of compounds. Simply put, tCheck is a home cannabis testing device that makes it simple and quick to determine the potency of your infusion, concentrate, or raw flower. Since it began selling in 2016, Chang and Whitson have sold over 7000 tCheck products and received funding from angel investors, including the Sacramento Angels and Canna Angels.

About Peichen Chang, CEO and Co-Founder at Engineered Medical Technologies
Engineered Medical Technologies first product, tCheck, is the world’s first home herbal infused oil potency testing device. Prior to joining Engineered Medical Technologies, Peichen worked on several other startup ideas, including: photography, social media, and high speed network testing equipment. They all pretty much crashed and burned. Had he learned about lean startup earlier, he probably could have saved lots of money and time. Most of his career was spent as a cube dweller for large corporations such as Hewlett-Packard, Emulex, and TD Ameritrade, moving from engineering to product management to fully lobotomized sales. He grew up as a DoD brat on the tropical island of Okinawa, Japan before moving to snowy upstate New York for his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Afterwards, he went on to Oregon State University for his master’s in business administration and electrical engineering.
