I often observe repeat founders struggle with founder market fit in a new space. While it is exciting to jump into a whole new space often the best outcome is for founders who repeat in the same space. This is particularly true in complex spaces like health, government etc
Everyone can get ideas. Big ideas. Original ideas. Never seen before ideas. But ideas without rigorous work ethic, time, investment, and execution are just dreams. Everyone can be a dreamer. Only a few build their dreams.
The best founders compete with themselves. They never stop raising the bar. They never stop asking what is next. They never stop wanting to get better.
Dedicated to all female founders, and my own 2x co-founder, Samantha Rivera who I have known for 18 years… A founder’s vision is a powerful thing. It’s more than a dream, theory, or prediction – to a founder, it’s an inevitable reality that others cannot see. They’ll call you…
Looking for bright, dedicated people who share our passion to change healthcare... Our #healthtech #startup is on a mission to change the status quo. We're tired of countless others saying they're doing something different, but nothing changes. #Patients remain frustrated,…
It’s 2024. Time to introduce a new style of healthcare delivery.

One last kick-in-the-arse tweet for the year: Don’t Be a Quitter Let me explain, as this is one of the most disappointing changes in my opinion in “tech” and startups over the last 12-18 months. Two things together have done many a disservice: the combination of a tougher year…
Founders, this is the winning recipe from one of all time greats in the business: Start with the customer and work backwards. Customer focus instead of worrying about competition. @JeffBezos nails this. x.com/gritcult/statu…

Hang out with ambitious people who are focused on their goals, they will never bring up any drama into your life, they neither have the time nor the energy for that.

It is unfortunate when early stage investors want to crowd the board room and take unnecessary board seats. The reason it is difficult for me to get behind this is that I invest in FOUNDERs, not other investors. I want FOUNDERS to have control of the business.
If you don’t know what to get an entrepreneur for the holidays: Buy their product at full price and leave them a review.
“On day one, a bootstrapped company sets out to make money . On day one a funded company sets out to spend money. They hire, they buy, they invest, they spend. Making money isn’t important yet. They practice spending, not making.” signalvnoise.com/posts/1985-mak…
Looks like CVS is taking lessons from @costplusdrugs to make prescriptions more affordable. axios.com/2023/12/05/cvs…
So many building in healthcare AI have very little knowledge of healthcare complexities on the clinicians’ side.
There will be those who get it. There will be those who don’t. Don’t waste time on the latter.
From a humble healthcare startup founder grinding on yet another holiday… Thank you, my amazing team mates. You are amazing. It is a joy to change healthcare with you. Thank you for being on this noble journey with me. Thank you, our patients and our customers — we are nothing…

As a person who has been a patient at various points in my life, I still cannot stand the term 'patient empowerment.' It truly is the worst. And if anything empowered me, it wasn't any tech or tool, it was the medical care I got to feel better so that I could be discharged.

One of the most important skills of the best entrepreneurs; their ability to move from one rejection to another with no loss of enthusiasm or confidence.
The truth is you will only make it as a founder if you learn to love conflict, the fight and being hit down. You have to get punched in the face and come back time & time again. To go to bed after a shit shit day and say tomorrow will be different. Armour on, embrace it.
I hate that the startup world puts investors on a pedestal. As a startup founder, it distracted me from serving my users. As an investor, it distracts my companies from serving their users. Investors aren’t the heroes of the startup world.
