@DrDiGiorgio I know this is supposed to be an indictment of the ridiculous US healthcare billing system, but in some markets it could read as a recruitment strategy to pull in D&D players.

@DocPriyamMD @Benkive The fact that you assume that is the reason shows you don’t understand patients as well as you think.

@jayyeh @Mark_DarkStarAi A lot of investors who used to say “no hardware” have realized they need a moat and been open to robotics + data + Physical AI, so all the robotics companies are shooting their shot to a broader audience.

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@jayyeh @MaciejDominiak5 Yep, you have to start by treating it like a very smart new grad: give it tasks that build, provide frequent feedback, expect there is some early inefficiencies with payback once it learns.

@hpierrejacques Tents were great for our boys. We had a small ikea tent and little light & books. Crib mattress on the floor so climbing wasn’t dangerous and then he could “get up” at 5am and go look at books safely while we still slept a little longer. Sometimes he even fell back asleep…

@jayyeh I think this tension of relationships built slowly and momentum dying fast is one of the biggest challenges in fundraising. Also, is a relationship really being built if you just have a check-in? Seems like investors need to get to know you in a previous capacity + new deal opp.

@juliarturc @XXfounder 👋 Physical AI is the place to be. Legit teams going after hard problems with real human benefit & tremendous untapped opportunity. We’re automating ICU nursing tasks to address staffing shortages, personalize care, and build world’s largest contextualized brain data pipeline.

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@jayyeh This is only part of the equation. You really need to model out the next few milestones and then look at who is writing checks/round size expectations & the type of investor you want for your next two rounds.

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@jayyeh I’ve found even specialist VCs may not be familiar enough with a specific use case, especially depending on who is in the first meeting. If you are a specialist VC wanting to go deep earlier, hopefully you are asking nuanced/acronym-riddled questions that signal that familiarity.

@chrissyfarr @DermaSensor is delivering on #3

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@dunkhippo33 @ericbahn Is #8, leaving them hanging so they lean in? 😉
I started learning from you via Twitter during the pandemic before I even started my company. Thanks for continuing to share.

@chrismichel @KarlDeisseroth @michelle_monje @Stanford Michelle’s office and PhD notebook, but Karl the one sitting at the desk “working”? I find the composition incongruent with the text.

@AlexanderJoh10 @MartinGTobias This is what we’re building for the brain. What are you working on, Alexander?

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@waleedd322 @DeryaTR_ My kids would say the answer is correct. 5 fingers and a thumb.

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@FFairing @jefielding @matvogels Is it possible he just didn’t want to tell you about the failed attempts as a new acquaintance? Or he is doing things in philanthropy he didn’t think you’d consider important?

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@jayyeh Still better than making me click through 4 pages to see appetizers, salads, mains and lunch specials…

[Caitlin Morse @MorseCodeMed]

@jefielding I agree as a founder if:
1) scheduled to allow for prompt arrival and context switching. If investor arrives 5-10min late, doesn’t work to be 15 total.
2) schedule allows for follow-up 60min call within week if interested (before data room)
3) parties not coming in totally blind

@Farshchi In most cases, the university holds the IP and is doing the accelerator to increase its value through spinout. For an equity investor, being all about team makes sense, but if all you own is IP, tech success = $$.

@WifeOfCombatVet @robbystarbuck Does your son have a passport? The last time we went through passport control coming back into the US they had our kids’ passport pictures without scanning our passports.
