.@tanay_tandon showed up to his first JPM Health Summit at 20 years old wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. Some founders disrupt industries. Others disrupt dress codes. (He did eventually buy a suit after that conference - regulatory compliance comes for all of us.) Jokes aside, Tanay and Deepika have built Commure/Athelas with remarkable focus and intensity, and they know they're still in the early innings. Congrats on the latest fundraising to give them more firepower for their mission. Also I'm not sure "doxxing" is the right term for sharing Tanay's great Heat Seeking Missile framing, when it's a message all founders need to hear. Read his note if you haven't yet, and find your own missiles: x.com/Alfred_Lin/status/2044…

1% of all US Physician appointments now run on Commure Ambient: 20 million annual visits. Explosive growth is due to 1 strategy: focus on where care is actually rendered: for-profits, specialty rural care, private clinics; instead of flashy, name-brand academic hospitals.

Huge fans of what’s going on at @caffeinatedcap. these guys just simply do what they say.
Today, we are launching a new brand identity for Caffeinated, one that we believe captures our evolution as a firm since our beginnings in 2008, the partnerships we have built with some of the world’s best founders, and our guiding philosophy.

Athelas is one of the most agile and best executing teams I've ever seen, in the league of my friends that have started gargantuan companies. Even more importantly they are high integrity and have good character. Expect big things from this company. google.com/amp/s/www.bnnbloo…

1/ Engineered biology (like cell gene therapy) is a powerful tool for TREATING disease. What if biology could be engineered to FIND disease too? In 2018 I met @Cyriac1 Roeding & Sam Ghambir, a pioneer in early cancer detection. Their company, Earli, proposed to do just that.
