got a lot of dms about work so took it as a chance to reintroduce myself.
currently building infra for pelvic care + happy to chat with folks interested / exploring. also nurturing @behtarfound focused on creating open-source, ai-enabled healthcare across indian contexts. write on s*bst*ck about various themes across health & tech and offset the seriousness of it all with a very facetious food inst*agr*m that comes alive during special occasions

"I think what tech people misunderstand is just the size of the TAM in pharma."
@zebulgar says capital will rotate into pharma after AGI:
"Anthropic is at what, a $60B run rate? Keytruda, the drug that Merck did in 2019, that one drug's topline is $25B in revenue. Just that one drug."
"By the way, once there's AGI, what do you think everybody's going to be focused on afterwards? Everybody's just going to want to live forever. Where do you think the capital is going to rotate into? It's going to rotate into longevity, therapeutics, and manufacturing."
you check the time and get excited when you see angel numbers, i look at the time and get excited to see my claude usage limit has reset - we are not the same.. you are definitely more sane
In 2019 my girlfriend (now wife) sent Patrick Collison a cold email for the ages. Patrick replied 3 minutes later, warmly, with a yes.
A few weeks later I met Patrick at Nopa at 9pm. He ordered tea, I ordered something stronger. He was congenial and energetic, and 90 minutes flew by.
The whole episode was special. My wife sending that email was a remarkable gift. Ditto Patrick's generosity.
They say never meet your heroes but I think the better advice is to choose the right ones.
