Favorite quote from our The Venture Collective (TVC) AGM:
“Healthcare moves at the speed of trust”. ✨ Ruby Gadelrab

tldr: normalize slowness, because it often represents presence—a scarce resource in our always going culture that rewards hustle and punishes reflection

slowness is a way to adjust your grip on life, on the moment you’re in. pause. breathe. look around. proceed. there’s no rush!

1) Can a massive business be built in this space?

That’s really all that matters to VCs ✨

Twitter is feeling very “string quartet starts playing on the Titanic” at the moment.

Bone to pick: What do we even mean when we talk about 'improving patient outcomes?' Hear this ad nauseam, but it's so vague.

So many q's: By what measure? And how long is the improvement for? And did that improvement cost? And improvement compared to what? And according to whom?

Historically, the health of the economy (including inflation) has had very little correlation with whoever is leading the country. You know what *is* influenced by who’s in office? And what *does* impact the economy? Reproductive rights. 🧵
