So much inspiring truth from @indievc https://t.co/qZUpBAXVaE

@bryce Perfecto.

Value based care

[Scottie Pippen @ScottiePippen]

Imagine this: If you had $86,400 in your account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all of the remaining $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at the person who took your $10? Or move on and live? Right, move on and live. See, we all have 86,400 seconds each day. Don’t let someone’s negative 10 seconds ruin the remaining 86,390. Don’t sweat the small stuff, life is bigger than that.

This is so good.

It’s possible, Marcus Aurelius said, to not have an opinion.

You don’t have to turn this into something, he reminds himself.

You don’t have to let this upset you. You don’t have to think something about everything.

[Navalism @NavalismHQ]

Smart partners negotiate fair deals because they know that lopsided deals are fragile and that most value accumulates in long term trust relationships.

You can tell a lot about a potential partner by their opening offer.

A beautiful resignation letter from an all-time investor and human.

Helluva run @ganeumann

A firm that’s small by design, that makes a handful of investments per year, and that eschews board seats and administrative control.

I’ve always believed the best founders have more in common with artists than executives.

They’re obsessive about new and beautiful things, they're compelled to bring creation into the world, and they're often misunderstood for very long periods of time–even lifetimes.

@StuartBlitz This is too good.

This is spiritual @bryce. Pure power. I’ll add that Independence is being able to pursue ideas regardless of if we are in ZIRP or not.

[Bryce Roberts @bryce]

“Dilution isn’t reserved for the cap table”

Independence is being able to pursue ideas regadless of whether they’re hot or not.

We have all the raw material for many versions of possible futures, why limit those to only the safe ones that can raise funding every 12-18 mo?

When you ask a health tech startup how much revenue they have and they tout “covered lives”

“The only grow up is the founder”

[Bryce Roberts @bryce]

This week, we go deep on this thread related to the Two Laws of Startup Physics with @epaley.

Eric and I have iterated on these ideas so much over the years it was a blast to finally get one of these conversations recorded.

Full edit drops to the mailing list on Friday.

Last January was the worst time in my career. I wasn't sure if @Decent had a future. But since then we have worked incredibly hard to come back stronger than ever. Big thanks to our friends at @HealthRosetta for the support and the business, and to @HeatherLandi and @FierceHealth for covering our comeback and what the future holds: affordable healthcare for all. https://t.co/tlkj4KgDGy

@mikealbainy We've both been in the healthcare game for a long time

[Thompson Aderinkomi @ThompsonAder]

Dreams do come true. My mail person just handed me this a few minutes ago. I’ve dreamed of this for over a decade and it took longer to make it happen. To partner with a commercial health insurer Thank you Allina Health Aetna for taking this giant step with us to shift healthcare

[Thompson Aderinkomi @ThompsonAder]

@WAderinkomi Thank you Uncle!
