“@HarvardHBS is using chat and video avatars of its professors in an online boot camp... [@xfund faculty advisor] Elise Bates said the A.I. avatars gave students access to “low-stakes reps that they don’t get before they talk to a real investor.”

May 28
We're proud to announce our global partnership with @EverlightRad, the world's largest multinational teleradiology provider.
Everlight Radiology's 800 radiologists will use Sirona's RadOS platform to deliver AI-powered radiology across 350 hospitals on six continents. This is Sirona's first partnership outside the United States, and one of the largest radiology platform agreements ever signed.
Under the agreement, Everlight will replace its existing PACS and reporting stack across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the UK, the UAE, and South Africa — unifying diagnostic viewing, reporting, worklist, and AI into a single cloud-native platform accessible from any browser, anywhere.
As Everlight CTO Andy Donaldson put it: "For teleradiology, that architectural distinction is existential, not incremental."
We're just getting started. Read the full announcement: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

What got us from 0 to 1 isn't what will get us from 1 to N.
3 years ago, before the launch of ChatGPT, we set out to start a company that most people thought was impossible.
To be honest, many people still think it's impossible today.
Multiple rounds of rejection and external doubt later, we went from 0 to 1 and created the category of "Digital Minds". We built an exceptional team and earned the backing of investors like Sequoia and Founders Fund.
It wasn’t easy. There were probably moments we should have pivoted.
But we kept pushing.
Today we work with some of the top minds in their fields - @lennysan, @bhalligan, Eckhart Tolle, Vanessa Van Edwards, Dr. Mark Hyman.
Delphi is the place people go to learn from them, get their advice, and access their expertise.
Looking ahead, we believe Delphi is how every human will represent themselves in the AI age. A new way for people to meet, connect with, and learn from one another.
But to get there, we need to evolve.
Delphi is looking for a VP of Engineering - someone who has taken a consumer platform from 1 to N and knows the tradeoffs required to build infrastructure that supports millions. An AI-native builder and culture carrier.
In the early years, I had an almost allergic reaction to "experience" - I believed purely in slope over y-intercept. As we've scaled, I've come to understand that to get where we want to go, we need someone who has already been there.
If that's you, or someone you know, I want to talk.

THE LIBRARY OF MINDS: EPISODE 1 - starring Keith Rabois (@rabois)
An OG member of the PayPal Mafia, co-founder at OpenDoor, Managing Director at Khosla Ventures, and one of Delphi's earliest believers.
We discuss:
• Lessons learned building PayPal, LinkedIn, Square, $OPEN & more
• Early career inflections: from litigation to Silicon Valley operator
• Why joining great teams is underrated, especially vs. starting your own company
• The new physics of AI startups (and org design mistakes to avoid)
• Why stretching & Slack are actually bad for you
Plus: What makes a winning office culture, advice for scaling from 20 to 100, building moats in AI, and why vacations might be overrated.
(00:00) — Intro
(00:56) — Who is Keith
(03:13) — Can you judge a startup by its office?
(04:28) — Litigator to PayPal Mafia, zero business experience
(08:52) — Start a company, or work for someone great?
(11:15) — All-nighters and culture at PayPal
(13:03) — Do vacations mean you hate your life?
(16:05) — Square’s zero-defect rule
(17:23) — Speed of adaptability vs. speed of execution
(21:35) — Is AI sustaining or disruptive?
(25:53) — Why stress is good for you
(28:14) — Building moats in AI
(30:39) — The downside of Slack
