About Speedy Tealbo









The Resilient Journey of Speedy: From Dream to Reality
In the heart of a bustling pharmacy, where prescription bottles lined shelves and customers sought healing, a different kind of remedy was brewing. Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) were steadily eroding profits, leaving Ronnie searching for innovative ways to sustain the pharmacy teams mission of community care.
When Dreams Take Shape
Driven by the necessity to evolve, what began as a strategic pivot sparked creative brilliance. Ronnie decided to venture into online marketplace, game and app development with his family, the team, pooling their resources with $1,000 each. It was a modest investment fueled by boundless optimism and entrepreneurial spirit. During those late night brainstorming sessions, surrounded by coffee cups and sketched concepts, Speedy was born.
Speedy wasn't just any game character. With his distinctive teal colored body, which was derived from the vibrant colors of their early online marketplace, embodied something special. His unique form was two scoops of ice cream stacked like a cheerful snowman, crowned with a whimsical soft-serve hairstyle which represented the sweet possibility of transformation. Every curve and swirl of his design whispered stories of authenticity and remained refreshingly relatable to anyone who'd ever dared to dream big.
The Setback That Taught Resilience
Reality hit hard when the true development costs emerged. The budget calculations revealed a mountain too steep to climb with their initial investment. With heavy hearts but practical minds, the team made the difficult decision to shelve Speedy, literally placing him in the closet where dreams sometimes go to wait.
But great ideas, like Speedy himself, have a way of refusing to melt away.
