“Jo had me at "physics scales, where chemistry do not"”

“Loved Nate's quote "we're actually building the right technologies that meet these teams where they are instead of actually meeting to teach them how to learn a new software. We hear very often that it's like we've gotten in their heads and that we've actually built exact workflows for them." And schools serve 10x the of meals that McDonalds does...”

“Meagan has nailed the regulatory risk reduction pathway and demonstrates a good understanding of industry dynamics. Changing medicine is hard, but there is great potential for rapid adoption when novel diagnostic tools like Baritone emerge that effectively solve unmet clinical needs.”

“Owning stakes in thriving technology-enabled businesses not held to power-law return expectations sounds like a modern take on Warren Buffet's recipe for getting rich slowly.”

“Cheryl and Jill changed my perception of what angel investing could be. I'd sworn off traditional angel groups after my experience syndicating a deal then struggling with governance issues at every subsequent round thru to acquisition. Play money offers a founder-friendly SPV attractive to entrepreneurs, angel-friendly deal discovery, and a rational economic thesis on how we can do well while doing good by inclusively funding entrepreneurs.”

“Chris and I crossed paths frequently in the insulin delivery space with his prior company Perikinetics and my company Capillary Biomedical (acquired by Tandem Diabetes Care). This is the original wearable category being disrupted by a new FDA regulatory framework that enables plug and play tech. Image my surprise when Chris de-cloaked Dyme from stealth to share what he'd learned about the insulin delivery market and whom he'd recruited. Let's make life simpler for people living with diabetes!”

“Abbott and Dexcom recently announced over-the-counter glucose sensors providing next-level physiology data that would benefit from an understanding of gender-specific hormone cycles. The wearable R&D sensor pipeline includes new analytes such as lactate and ketones. So Wild.AI has a rich metabolic data set that is only going to get richer. So this is a story I'm interested in following as a cheerleader.”
