If you've had a dental prosthetic (Crown/bridge, veneer, clear aligners, nightguard, etc) placed in the past 3 years, there's a decent chance it was made by Dandy.

As of today, **over 2 million Americans** have a dental prosthetic made by Dandy in the USA! 🎉🇺🇸💪 We are restoring America as a powerhouse of manufacturing innovation and using 3D Computer Vision to solve one of the most challenging manufacturing problems in the world - custom-made 3D prosthetics. 🏭🧊 (1/4)

@ali_debow @gamechangersvc @scooterbraun @guyoseary @stellation @SignalFire @MaCVentureCap congrats!!

[Ali Debow @ali_debow]

We're excited to announce a $4M Seed round led by @GameChangersVC, with support from incredible investors including @scooterbraun, @GuyOseary, @stellation, @SignalFire, @MaCVentureCap, and others.

A few years ago, while hosting community events and testing early products, my co-founders @WeilynChong, @NathanAhn, and I noticed a consistent pattern.

After every event, people asked the same questions:

Where are the photos? Who captured that moment? How do I reconnect with the people I met?

UnitedHealth just told Wall Street it'll use AI to cut $1B in costs this year.

It sounds like progress.

But something way more concerning is happening.

[Daniel Hanover @danielmhanover]

Technology in healthcare can be a tool for good or a tool for evil.

The difference is whether you're saving money at someone else's expense or saving money while making their experience better.

[Daniel Hanover @danielmhanover]

In every case, we saved money.

And in every case, the customer's experience got better.

Not either-or.

We're thrilled to share that @meet_Dandy has been named to @LinkedIn Top Startups list for the 3rd time! 🎉 For context, Dandy is only 5 years old.

Since launching in 2020, we've grown to a team of 1,900 talented people working to transform dental care. What started as a mission to modernize the dental lab industry has become something much bigger - a movement to make better care accessible through technology.

This recognition belongs to them. The engineers building cutting-edge tools, the technicians perfecting every restoration, the sales reps partnering with practices across the country, and everyone in between. Your dedication to pushing our industry forward is what makes this possible. To the dental practices who've trusted us with their patients' care - thank you. You inspire us to raise the bar every day. We're just getting started.

That broken $7,000 scanner is now in our office museum.

Next to our first crown. Next to the rejection letters from VCs who said dental was "too small."

The pedal never got fixed. And now we have a team of 2,000. (12/12)

[Daniel Hanover @danielmhanover]

We spent half our money on a broken dental scanner from eBay. The pedal was ripped off.

That scanner kicked off a business that now employs 2,000 people across 5 continents. 🧵 (1/X)

[Daniel Hanover @danielmhanover]

Within six months, we went from 3 customers to 300. Word spread through dental forums like wildfire. "There's a company giving away free scanners and they're actually good." (11/X)
