@CamiloBAcosta You’re baiting me, right? :)

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

Come see the @askclarahealth team at @ycombinator demo day today!

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@taro_f Curious what the criteria are for VIP status

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

Come meet the @askclarahealth team tomorrow at demo day - we'll be out behind the atrium.

Didn’t expect to get blood work and a new primary care provider from @askclarahealth at @ycombinator’s demo day

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

I once met an affiliate marketer who worked for a large bank. CFO paused her campaigns in September because she was acquiring more customers than planned and blew through her annual "budget." Insanity.

Time to short Uber and long DoorDash

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@mil000 Office hours, brand, network, demo day, forcing function, overall materially higher chance of success. Though they may exist, I have yet to meet a founder who did not think YC was worth it, and many have gone back to do YC again.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@kyriakosel Could not agree more

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

I got to YC office hours early this morning and walked down the water in Dogpatch.

Abandoned buildings. Cranes. Quiet.

You can still see the sky here.

In ten years you won’t be able to.

I like being early.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

Building @askclarahealth on the same bet. Primary care, rebuilt for $25/month. Comment here and we’ll comp your first video visit with a real provider.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@houfro @VinnyLingham We’re a regulated medical practice, so no. We are HIPAA-compliant and have zero data retention agreements with the models we use. If you wanted to analyze your data anonymously, you would need to run an open source model locally.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@VinnyLingham Grateful to have you onboard!

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@M_zekks @Davidgmi_01 @askclarahealth @grok What grok said is correct

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@DamirWallener @ycombinator @askclarahealth Clara is a full primary care medical practice, so we can pull your medical records (ChatGPT cannot, and is not HIPAA-compliant) and can be your PCP, diagnose, prescribe, treat (ChatGPT cannot).

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@MaksimXBT @ycombinator @askclarahealth True! So much opportunity ahead.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

Thrilled to announce the launch of @askclarahealth - an AI-powered primary care doctor, with licensed clinicians reviewing all medical decisions. Clara can become your PCP, or work alongside your exiting one. Try it free at https://t.co/QHMKcggUGo.

We've also announced we've raised a $12M pre-seed from top investors and have joined the @ycombinator P26 batch.

I cofounded and led Circle Medical for a decade, helping bring make primary care accessible through telemedicine. I'm committing to spending my next decade working on the even impactful challenge of bringing AI to primary care.

[Clara @askclarahealth]

Today we are launching Clara, an AI-powered primary care doctor with licensed medical providers reviewing everything. Try it free at https://t.co/xxwFjMjBAv.

Also excited to announce we have raised $12M pre-seed and are part of the @ycombinator P26 batch.

@Jason I'm in

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

If your CEO is not coding, your company is in slow decline.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before.

I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers.

I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job.

That is the job understood correctly.

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

@RonConway Ron, so sorry to hear this news. Thank you for everything you have done for the startup ecosystem and for your founders. Looking forward to your recovery so that you can keep at it for many more decades. ❤️

[George Favvas @georgefavvas]

Yep. The future is being built in person (5+ days per week) and in SF. The level of energy is just incredible.
