One of the best things you can do when fundraising is after you pitch you literally ask them directly what their concerns are - it's useful, honest feedback.

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

The people in the world with the best memories?

Founders who were mistreated by VC's.

You of course forgive, but you never, ever forget.

Last night in son’s 3rd grade basketball game his team up 3 with 10 seconds left and ball - the other team didn’t foul 😂

FT shooters in this league I am guessing shoot like 25% from line.

Good win, but what are we doing here coach?

Health tech founders explaining how their mix of DTC, employer sales, and payor sales all have positive ROI

With the boom of telemedicine over the last 5 years (and when COVID hit), I wonder at what point (if ever) payors try to claw back claims or put new processes in place to cap future claims.

It feels inevitable to me.

Just wonder how big you have to get before they care?

How to build a US healthcare system that isn’t 100% messed up:

1. Build a Time Machine

Entrepreneur commitment to traveling to industry conferences and events over time as their business grows through exit:

1) I do not go
2) I go on the cheap
3) I go and don't need to be as cheap
4) I rarely go
5) I do not go

Ok so for Chicago will lock down Bavette’s as the steakhouse of choice.

Where else are we eating? Have 2 more nights.

Forthcoming health tech startup pitch

Pro tip for health tech conference organizers in 2024 - stop creating boring panels and go for spicy:

* Who are better operators - Physicians or Non-Physicians?
* Should you Rx Compounded GLP-1's or not?
* Are full body scans net positive or negative?

What am I missing?

Series A health tech VC's:

I would be happy to fund your Series A at a 200% premium to your seed with no due diligence and I'll just take common shares. Can wire tomorrow. For next steps, look between H and L on your keyboard.

When health tech companies today talk about their AI care model

Took 9 year old son to doctor’s office last week since he had small fever (he’s fine). Upon check-in, they charged $20 co-pay.

My son said “Why do they create friction to get simple preventative care so I don’t cost them more later? Don’t they want me to be healthy?”

Ah, youth.

“Dad, what was it like when you could raise seed money for a health tech company at an insane valuation with some scribbles on a napkin, give up no control, and they didn’t ask about customer acquisition or unit economics?”

I guess if we have Instacart delivered at 1030pm it’s *somewhat* our fault that the entire order strongly smells of weed
