As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵
We’re rebuilding outpatient care from the ground up.
If you’re looking for a place to do your life’s work in healthcare, come join us @rezilienthealth 🚀
I have some news.
We're thrilled to announce @rezilienthealth has raised a $10M Series A, led by @GovoVP with participation from Bridge Ventures, Acorn Pacific Ventures, Jim McKelvey (Co-Founder of @Square), Mark Jones & Robyn Jones (Founder of @followgoosehead), and @TheCouncilCap.
This capital is not only a testament to the entire Rezilient team’s relentless commitment to our customers, partners, and the families we continue to serve, it also sets the foundation for growing our impact across more communities that are suffocating under the weight of the traditional U.S. healthcare industry.
Our goal from day one has been the same as it is today: flip the traditional healthcare model on its head and deliver care that centers a transparent relationship between patients and their care team, in the communities that are typically overlooked by the innovation economy.
The difference between day one and today is that hundreds of businesses have trusted us with the care for their people.
Absolute honor of my career to have invested in @rezilienthealth (at $0 revenue, mind you) and work with @operationdanish and @jeffgamblephd.
Their growth has been breathtaking. Congrats on a $10M series A and all the milestones that led up to this moment. It's just the beginning.
1950-70 sci-fi shaped our vision of the future. 70+ years on, those ideas feel stale yet we have new tech and decades of progress to inspire us

I meet a lot of folks who think Healthcare is too complex to navigate as an early stage investor, and it goes in and out of style as a sexy investment space. But my sneaky secret is I've been investing in it as a non-expert since early 2019.
My thesis has always been about proven operators serving essential industries. It's only natural that I stumbled my way into a few Healthcare deals early on. It's one of the *most* essential industries in our society.
I was fortunate enough at pre-seed in @joindaybreak, led by proven operator @alexdalvarado. That went well (follow on by @lightspeedvp, @usv, @Lux_Capital). So I decided to do keep chasing it as part of the thesis, despite all of its complexities. Today I'm extremely proud to be an investor in fast-growing companies like @rezilienthealth and @astercare_.
And TLDR: I continue to be astounded by the wide open problem space, density of high quality founders, and potential for venture scale returns within Healthcare.
That’s why I am so excited to welcome @rachtsui, PhD as a Venture Partner focused on Healthcare. Her unique perspective as Head of Customer Success at Komodo Health will be an incredible value add to our ability to source and diligence. But most importantly, I'm excited for founders to be able to talk go-to-market, payer strategy, and more with her as they grow.
"UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away."

more of this, please. Hanks is exposed to a horrific event in US history, and instead of being angry that he is exposed to something upsetting, he's outraged at the people who kept this in the dark for so long. Serious adults want to understand the world in which they live.
A stunning live TV moment showcasing the reality of America today: Parents of Parkland victim, Joaquin Oliver, were on-set to talk to @CNN about their gun reform work...their interview derailed by breaking news of Kansas City shooting.
"Not surprised at all," the father says.
🚨 BREAKING: NLRB RULES COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYERS ARE EMPLOYEES
The college INDUSTRY takes another major hit. Their exploitation of student athletes will be over soon.
On Monday, a National Labor Relations Board regional director issued a landmark ruling that could shatter the NCAA’s amateurism model. Dartmouth men’s basketball players are considered university employees under U.S. labor law—and therefore are eligible to UNIONIZE.
The case was first filed in September of 2023 by a local chapter of the SEIU.
