Ride It to the SkyThe Deal
Founders have little to no diversification. They are all in on one idea, company, and mission. It's an insanely high-risk, high-reward endeavor. As founders become increasingly wary of this level of risk concentration, they begin to think about ways to mitigate it. One idea I've heard repeatedly is the notion that a group of founders can self-assemble and contribute a percentage of their equity in their company to a shared pool. That way, if they fail and one of the other founders in the grou...
Ride It to the SkySequoia Wants It Hard
I have seen a lot of young first-time founders play it fast and loose in their fundraising processes the past several years. It’s been frothy times, so I think it brings out a lot of strange behavior. It got me thinking of when I was a young founder and the things I’d do, particularly one specific story that I tell people when I get asked “what not to do” when fundraising. Back in 2010 Steve and I launched GroupMe to much fanfare. It got a lot of attention out the gate because we built it at ...

Universal healthcare is a doctor that:
you can speak with 24/7, is infinitely patient, and never rushes you
has access to all of the latest medical knowledge and literature
has a superb bedside manner
can communicate with you however and whenever you want: text, voice, or video
knows all about your medical history and doesn't have to ask you the same question twice
has memorized the results of all the medical tests you've had
focuses on keeping you healthy and proactively checks in on you
has breadth and depth - it can be your primary care physician and a specialist
can create a personalized wellness plan that's unique to you and help you stick to it
is free to interact with or as close to free as possible
This is universal healthcare, and it's around the corner. It will be available to everyone.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini are already better at diagnosing conditions than most doctors. They have better bedside manners, too.
They and Consensus are the doctors I turn to first when I have a medical question for myself or my family.
I feed the results of my lipid panels to them and ask them what I should do to improve my biomarkers, and I get answers that are just as good as those of doctors I know and trust.
The foundational models already have the wisdom and wherewithal to deliver personalized healthcare to everyone with an internet connection. They just need a friendly wrapper and trusted UX (likely one that is heavy on voice). It's time to make it so.

i believe in the future of universal healthcare https://jared.xyz/universal-healthcare
Couldn’t agree more. I hope we can be very aggressive at not allowing special interests and staus quoism to block this! https://warpcast.com/tldr/0xf4a91591
I do agree with your points here, but we need air tight compliance and HIPAA regulations with AI. Unprotected mechanisms to train models without consent will need to go away
Are there any open source/locally run models you think that are well suited to the healthcare use case? Ideally something multimodal that can look at images, data, etc.
"checks in on you" & "help you stick to it" & "free" & "however and whenever you want: text" = amazing future
Amen
