Feels like capital is flowing back to LP’s at a steady clip. The window is wide open and M&A is booming.

Been hearing this from LPs. Push for emerging managers to move earlier into seed and co invest. GPs may play along to stay active. Feels like stage tourism 2.0 a la ZIRP . Could create a capital supply bubble at seed and invite inflation adverse selection. Thoughts?.

Whoever wins this pilot will be a set as a reference stack for payers and Medicare. CMS just opened a RT fraud fusion center too w/ the same rails that will grade WISeR accuracy and bias. If your enterprise grade prior auth startup can’t map, smart HC investors will discount IMO.
Announced today: learn how the WISeR (Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction) Model will use enhanced technologies to protect patients, decrease use of low-value care, and reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in Original Medicare:

1 in 8 US workers now draws a check from hospitals, clinics or nursing homes, great for jobs, brutal for costs . -ACA & Medicaid ⬆️ coverage.-Aging + sick pop.-US loves HC labor. More headcount ≠ better outcomes.-Nurse+ PA wages surge.-20 % of staff is admin bloat. Hi AI!.
For the few years I've been covering jobs reports, and one sector typically rises above the rest, quietly hiring by the thousands: Health care. How taking care of humans became the biggest employer in America, and what it means for the rest of us.

You’re scaling. ARR’s climbing. The AI works. But margins are bleeding and it’s not headcount. It’s compute. As @bgurley said, only the hyperscaler truly wins. True or not? In AI healthcare, infra isn’t a line item. It’s your business model.

If nothing else, this further illustrates the need for redundancy to remove a single point of failure. Quite technical in nature, but applicable to humans and government.

There is a lot to unpack and understand with a $20B commit over the next decade. With all the headlines around closures and PBM shifts, feels like a J curve type pattern playing out. Either way, going to keep close 👀 on it.
EXCLUSIVE: $CVS commits to $20B over 10 yrs to modernize healthcare experience. But it is doing so with the hopes that:.a) regulatory environment will catch up.b) competitors will agree to integrate.c) patients will entrust it with their data. Story coming soon @YahooFinance

Walked by the @NintendoAmerica store in SF. I’m convinced, it’s the most popular retail door in the city right now.

I see this as an opportunity to break from the noise and herd. Get invited to the BBQ vs go hunt in the wild? Both may satisfy the appetite, but require different skills for both founders and investors.
Accelerators are eating pre-seed.

Which accelerator will focus on air traffic control tech? Might be interesting.

Feeling the same feeling I felt building x286 computers in the 90's. AOL, Napster, and Winamp, Wake on LAN. eBay and PayPal. Growing up in SF with parents in the industry and going to Cow Palace computer shows, I appreciate what innovation is expressing today. Let's go!.
