Big wins for the @MidiHealth team.
Following their Series D and $1B valuation, Midi Health Co-founder & CEO Joanna Strober sits down on GV’s Talent Talks with GV Exec Talent Partner @hughes_rhys to talk about why they hire for potential as they scale a new healthcare system.
Congrats to the brilliant https://t.co/Z2XLB038Zr Ltd team: they’ve been acquired by @Apple, marking Apple’s 2nd largest acquisition ever 🚀
It’s been a pleasure to work with Aviad, Yonatan and Avi since we co-led their Seed in 2022 with our friends at Aleph (coinvestors with us in Lemonade and Simply).
What they’ve built, entirely in stealth, at the intersection of AI and physics has the potential to transform communication. At Apple, their innovation will have the opportunity to reach global audiences.
We are going to deeply miss working with them, they are extraordinarily smart, high integrity and tenacious. After the horrendous Oct 7th attack in 2023 approximately 30% of the company were drafted into military service, and for months afterwards our meetings were interrupted as the team had to scramble into bomb shelters, this slowed them down less than I could have imagined and not once did they complain, instead their energy was focused on supporting their community and making technical breakthroughs.
Congrats from all of us @GVteam !
Hiring great talent is only half the job. Keeping them is the real work. In our latest blog, @Hughes_Rhys explains why culture–not compensation–is the strongest defense against employee turnover. Read his piece, “The Talent War’s Secret Weapon: Retention”: https://t.co/DrQI83LpuZ
GV portcos were front and center this week on @TBPN:
@Attio and @BlueWaterShips announced their latest funding rounds, while @Zipline announced its partnership to deliver @ChipotleTweets by drone.
August has been anything but quiet for GV!

Excited to see @Airbnb’s Online Experiences live. Our toddler has been a beta tester for @Nat_S’s Family Baking Class and gives it five 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪! It’s been a fun way to be together with friends, even while apart. https://t.co/nMulWnEM3N
In March, Airbnb Experiences hosts all over the world had to stop doing what they love most. So they tried something new.
Thanks to the creativity and passion of our hosts, Airbnb Experiences are now online.

Airbnb is partnering with the Olympics until 2028. We hope to have (1) hundreds of thousands of new hosts for the games provide housing, (2) create thousands of Olympian Experiences with athletes as Airbnb Experiences hosts, and (3) provide support for the Refugee Olympic Team.
