@BehaveinLA I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed. I wonder what that was all about?? I was worried.

Wait… did anyone else clock Jonathan’s hand shaking while he drank that soda? Like, is he ok?? I’m genuinely concerned. #bachelorinparadise

It’s been a while since I started my role, but I wanted to share this update with everyone. I’m happy to share that I started a position as Strategy & Growth Advisor at #Frontera! More to come on the great work we’re doing very soon. Frontera technology is the first ever demonstration of Al driven digital phenotyping of pediatric conditions such as autism. Our deeptech platform leverages Al/ML to create a robust video-based data model for early intervention and developmental disorders.

Everyone is predicting that pent up deal making and demand will lead to a robust 2024 end of year and active 2025. If you want to be part of the conversation, save April 7-9 on your calendar for the 2025 Autism Investor Summit. It will be better than ever!

This is Shore’s second ABA exit, the first being Florida Autism Center sold to Blue Sprig days before the COVID shutdown.

This is the largest deal of 2024. The last notable deal was the merger of Trumpet and KKR’s Blue Sprig.

Part 1: Same video. One platform suppressing content, one actually showing it.
How do I know?
The first time this happened was a couple years ago when I posted a video on TikTok that got 12 views in 1 hour. Unusual for a content creator with 3.5 million followers.

No one in healthcare real estate is providing more competitive financing than us.
Sample Terms:
- 15 Years
- 100% LTV
- 6.5% - 8.5% Interest Only for 15 Years
- No Balloon Payment (Loan can be forgiven at maturity)
You might have guessed it.
Sale-leasebacks.
The real estate for a physician group in many cases is non-performing.
There's usually a better use for that capital.
The buildings are also worth more with in-place leases 90% of the time.
If the loan is maturing, sell the building, lease it back, and receive "net-lease" pricing for the asset.
Then re-allocate those proceeds to higher returning areas e.g., performing real estate, your business, other investments, etc.

They also caution anyone leaning on % of goals mastered for outcomes: "There is currently no consensus/guideline that defines progress or a successful treatment outcome for a patient [...], on either a short- or long-term basis, in terms of percentage of goals mastered."

Some important metrics on caseloads. "A 1-2:10 case supervision and direct treatment ratios required for positive treatment outcomes, a 40-hour full-time [BCBA] may be able to provide 100-150 case supervision hrs each month to support 500–1500 hours a month of direct treatment."

@BehaveinLA 2018 was a heck of a ride in ABA.

Has anyone in the ABA space paid 15x or higher and been able to realize their return? I don’t believe so. As a business owner of you sell at more reasonable multiples you’ll be more likely to get a second round of success if you are rolling over equity. #showerthoughts

@HCareAdvisorGuy That’s great. Those probably don’t make the headlines as much as the ones that fall flat.

@BehaveinLA I can think of one... and maybe a second.

@zachmelloh26 You can either be the person spending the money or making the money. Which one do you want to be? Dangers of consumerism culture in general should be taught in school.
