OpenEvidence has revenue of $50 million - but a valuation of $6.1 BILLION. Question for all the “AI can’t replace doctors!” naysayers: What do *you* think OE’s long-term monetization pathway looks like? What are investors expecting will happen to justify this valuation? 🧵

31 years ago today, I was shot in the throat. I survived, but survival alone isn’t enough. It gave me purpose: to heal, to fight for others, and to push for change. This @npr.org piece tells part of that journey. #GunViolenceAwareness
