It's been awesome to witness @yourpairteam execute on its mission. Observing @Neil_Batlivala and Cassie cook in service to Medicaid recipients has been really inspiring. Big šš¾ to the squad! Thank you to @rj_bris and @j_c_pascasio for your valuable contributions
Iām excited to share that our co-founder, Cassie Choi, has been recognized as a Top 50 in Digital Health Frontline Heroes honoree! Thank you to @Rock_Health for the recognition, and congratulations to all of the Top 50 honorees! bit.ly/3nVj5YR#Top50inDigitalHealth
Shout out to @dvasishtha for calling this out! We did a lot of research and found that most companies don't offer front-line staff equity.
At Pair Team, we know our team is how we make an impact in the community and EVERYONE gets equity.
2. Does the company offer front-line staff equity?
If a company doesn't consider their care teams, who deliver their product, owners in the business then they've already created a negative power dynamic of corporate vs. field --> detracts from doing good UX and product work.
We don't just believe in upward mobility of those we care for, we believe in this for our team as well.
We hire from the communities we serve, provide education, meaningful wages, and offer exposure to many different career paths in digital health.
Silicon Valley Bankās dramatic fall in just a handful of days likely will leave a lasting impact on the tech and startup ecosystem it tried so hard to foster, begging the question: Who will replace SVB in the venture debt ecosystem?

Thank you to everyone for your support through this.
I'm taking a moment to breathe a sigh of relief, take stock of everything to be grateful for (a lot), and then get back to work knowing our team is protected.
Blaming depositors for bank failure is like placing the blame for medical malpractice on patients because they didnāt do a good enough job shopping for a doctor. Depositors expect the Fed to ensure that banks are safe.
A little more about the real impact of Pair Team and the amazing people on our team.
This is what the SVB crash impacts. This is not tech elites.

Neil and @yourpairteam work with community based organizations to keep people (who would otherwise slip through the cracks) stay healthy and connected with the healthcare system.
This is quite literally the opposite of "bailing out the rich"
My company @yourpairteam provides low-income Americans with healthcare and we banked with SVB. Its failure does not just impact the 1%. It affects our amazing team of nurses, therapists, community health workers, and our patients who are the highest need in the country 1/3
My name is Cassie. Iām a registered nurse and the co-founder of Pair Team. We are 46 people from across the country and around the world who have come together to care for our communitiesā most high-risk individuals. We banked with Silicon Valley Bank. 1/13
Pair Team is only one of thousands of companies building for a better future. We deserve to have all of our hard-earned capital returned to us so we can keep doing our work. 12/13

From the bottom of my heart, @Neil_Batlivala and I are so grateful for the support we've received from our community. The work we do takes a village and it's such an honor to have folks like you beside us.
We have more work to do and we need your help. 13/13
