Truepill raises a $160M Series D

Now with telehealth (50K visits/week) and diagnostics (1M tests) on top of over 10M prescriptions filled—On track for >300M ARR

Huge scale = works great for startups and providers alike

Proud investor from day one

techcrunch.com/2021/10/27/tru…
Truepill has truly become Stripe for digital healthcare: nationwide availability, at home test kits, telehealth software and pharmacy fulfillment (cash and insurance) all through one simple API and tech platform
Allows startups and healthcare providers to go from idea to full rollout in weeks not months.

Who wins? Patients. Telehealth can be 50X lower cost with better care that meets the patient where they live.

This space has been massively accelerated by COVID.
I don’t think people realize how we are only scratching the surface of what is happening in digital health. We are so proud to sork with @sidviswanathan @UAfridi and the Truepill team.

Fundraising is merely a goalpost. The real goal is to create a better world for healthcare.
Correction: Tweeted too fast — $142M round valuing the company at $1.6B

Instagram long term cohort retention between 50% to 75% for D90 is still amazing

It means 90 days after signup 50% to 75% of teens are still using it

For anyone building consumer social, this benchmark is the stat to beat

I love how 51% is yellow status (that is still v high!)
I wonder what the D90 for heroin is

Maybe only slightly higher than Instagram for teens
What is minimum viable? About 20% and you can still be a global top app

Below that ngmi

Dear Chesa,

I grew up food insecure and working class in the SF Bay Area. This is my home. I am one of the largest donors to your recall.

I’m not leaving but after this recall election, you are.

Kindly,
Not a fan
Want to see billionaire dark money? Soros, Hastings, Real Money PAC, SEIU

I have received the texts. Pretty sure if you live in SF you have too. Grassroots Law is a national group funneling Shaun King money. The volunteers are all east coast.
This was the diverse women-led Democrat-led organizing committee turning in recall petition signatures last week

There is real hope in SF because we can’t let the far left continue to destroy this city

Former SF prosecutor: “The priority first was public perception, the 2nd priority was incarcerated people… the victims of crime did not count among his priorities unless it helped public perception.”

Chesa Boudin must be recalled for us to be safe.

sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/hea…
Remember in January when we compared him to bad PMs at big tech companies? All talk no action, just focus on being promoted?

When your own team is leaving in droves, that bad PM gets the axe.

Perception is not what Boudin should manage. It is helping victims get justice.
This is not public service.

This is another level of sociopathy.

The result is unsafe SF streets where we don’t know when we will be robbed or worse.

We get ideology instead of what we deserve: a strong leader who can bring criminal justice reform while keeping us safe.

There are many Bored Apes but this one is mine #BAYC
Is it ridiculous I bought an ape because it looks like me?

A man sped 80mph on SF city streets, ran a red light, then recklessly killed 26-year-old cyclist Kate Slattery without stopping

He only spent 16 days in jail. The sentence? 3 years probation, after a deal with Chesa Boudin's incompetent DA office.

WTF?

SF Victim Advocate: “As you walk free, know that five years, afforded you this moment. If this case happened anywhere else in CA or the Bay Area you likely would be midterm on a prison sentence.”

After that Victim Advocate Feinberg was fired by Boudin.
The backstory is even crazier— texting while driving

Ask yourself: Is this a good thing for the society we live in? We need to vote accordingly, because as far as I'm concerned, this is deep in breakdown-of-society mode.

Nonfungible tokens bring scarcity to the digital world— the "bad version" of this is new status symbols. The good version of this I'm excited about is creating new games

That's why we funded @manifoldxyz to let people create your own game dynamics on your own smart contracts
Manifold lets creators and artists get creative sovereignty— use your own contract, not someone else's

I might be sharecropping here on YouTube/Twitter but the promise of NFTs is to let creators build their own platforms for ownership and distribution
What did @ediep wish he knew when he was 20 starting out in tech today? He would drop everything and learn about web3— in 2010 if you didn't learn about mobile, you would pay a big penalty.

Pick up smart contracts and hack away — the distribution advantages are just ramping now
