chicken w/ head cut off: UNIVERSITIES ARE DYING.
me: nah, they're just shifting format and purpose.
Got to shoot the sh*t w/ the @BloombergTV squad this AM about why so many of the best still want at least a year or 2 of college & post-secondary, & how @DormRoomFund wins there.
Read the scoop on how Veeraj went from DRF's PhD Founders Track to solving rising healthcare costs and staff burnout here. So proud to be on this ride with him and Sanketh! 💜🏥🔥https://t.co/tnDZvDNVsE
$31M in fresh series A capital from healthcare giant @oakhcft for one of my all time fave @DormRoomFund founders-- @vitalize_care-- AND a refreshed DRF Substack to tell the tale? Best day ever.
Just look at this gorgeousness!
@ashleymayer Wow thanks for flagging, Ash. Feels like everyone did an A+ job here— journo for pushing respectfully on a hard but important Q. PR person protecting her principal very effectively, and SA for tackling a question he clearly doesn’t have a neat answer for with humility and care.

Congrats to @DormRoomFund for closing $50M fund! I got my start in venture / angel investing while at Harvard with DRF, thanks to @firstround@phineasb@heyreiwang@themollette & more!
We did some incredible investments from @cursor_ai (acquired by @spacexai for $60B), @shieldaitech ($12B valuation), Spyce Robotics (acquired by @sweetgreen).
Since then, I have invested in over 20+ startups from @sundayrobotics ($1.2B), Hatch AI (acquired by @Yelp $300M), @mintive (Stanford, @JeffDean-backed), Dream Labs (@nvidia world model team), and more!
Let’s go DRF!
