$NNOX -- thought I'd put together a refresher on:

- what the company is trying to accomplish
- how it's planning to progress
- where it is today
- all it has left to prove

Shout out to @terrapharma for editing!

Value prop (1/4) -- X-ray tube

- costs $100 @ scale vs. $150K for legacy
- its cold cathode tech greatly reduces heat damage & extends lifetime
- 70-90% smaller vs. legacy tube -- reduces weight & enables multi-source units for 3D imaging (broader applications vs. legacy X-ray) Image
$NNOX value prop (2/4) -- better imaging

Multiple X-ray sources (up to 11) allows for
- more angles
- more tests

Digital approach enables
- clearer imaging
- less unnecessary radiation exposure -- comparatively limited Ma & KvP

$CURI's Needham call -- CEO Clint Stinchcomb

“CURI is John Hendrick’s original vision of Discovery… before its shift to reality TV"

- CURI capitalizes on the void a shift to reality creates
- "we want to be a trusted home resource"
$CURI's Needham call -- CEO Stinchcomb

Why competition is moving to reality?
- appeals to 80% of consumers
- factual just 60%

BUT -- $CURI seeks corporate parters SO
- brand quality imperative
- content focus a must

& views factual content as
- longer shelf life
- higher LTV
$CURI's Needham call -- CEO Stinchcomb

Ad plans:
- no plans to incorporate 30-60 second commercials
- open to more subtle ad forms for "strictly blue-chip clients"
- considered sponsorships not ads
- competitors' shift to SVOD makes $CURI's sponsorships more & more valuable

A lot of interest in $LMND lately... I wonder why 📈👀🙂

Here are my complete thoughts... nothing has changed since this besides 2 earnings reports that made me more excited about the company if anything.

I'm long for the long term barring any abrupt changes to the thesis. 🍋
& some more details from CFO Tim Bixby at a recent investor conference.

Going over
-how $1 in premiums flows through $LMND's income statement
-how new reinsurance contracts help the businesses
