cool- but I don’t understand it.
There are 100s of GLP factories that prescribe GLP’s after a few Q’s
Medvi’s flow is particularly bad.
I assume margins would have been competed away
Hims did $2.35B of revenue with 2k employees. This 2 person co in the space is doing $1.8B?

.@eringriffith: "His start-up, Medvi, a telehealth provider of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, got 300 customers in its first month. In its second month, it gained 1,000 more. In 2025, Medvi’s first full year in business, the company generated $401 million in sales. Mr. Gallagher then hired his only employee, his younger brother, Elliot. This year, they are on track to do $1.8 billion in sales." nytimes.com/2026/04/02/tec…

@sweatystartup the differentiator for the franchisees is requiring a higher level of staffing to reduce severe turnover and shortages that plague daycare models. Alpha School is a good example of this in a slightly different context.
English
@sweatystartup This might be the best business idea you've ever posted!
English
Business idea:
Raise $25,000,000 to build 5 premium 15,000 SF daycares. 3 acre lots.
3 businesses:
1 is the real estate holding company that owns the properties. $500k annual rent each NNN. Portfolio worth $35 million + a few months after you open them.
2nd is the development company. 10% construction fee means $2,500,000 in revenue there.
3rd is the daycare itself as a franchise model. I use my reach to recruit the ops team and then the franchisees. Collect $1.5 m + of franchise buy-in fees and 10% of revenue. At $300 a week per kid and 200 kids operator takes home $500k + as well.
After this test run proves successful you raise $100 million and build 25 of them 18 months after the first.
Build biz and real estate holdings with $100m of equity in 5 years time.

What fascinates me about @mingwatches is how quickly they grew. In just eight years they've produced around 18,000 watches.
That's when you know a microbrand is becoming a real player in the industry.

@nickkokonas curious your thoughts on the NOMA situation? Was sad to see Rene bowed to the pressure.

@thesamparr Gotcha. I figured as a former runner, it would be right up your alley

@EHoffanonymous I prefer explosive movements. Hyrox is
Mostly endurance

A few years ago I trained for an NFL Combine.
The training made me feel amazing. Very athletic.
Now that its getting warm...I wanna do it again.
I'm looking for someone who can do my programming. NYC based preferred (but not necessary).
Comment here if interested.

Been training for an NFL combine for past 6 weeks. Current progress: - 32 inch vert - 4.6 40 - 10'4 broad jump - 12x225 bench Been SO MUCH fun. Way more fun than just lifting or doing HIIT. I do challenges like this each quarter. This one's the best. Goal: average WR score!

@__Poisonivyyy social suicide when you were handed a purple participation ribbon.

@paulsaladinomd Silly comparison. You drive an F150 Raptor. Nothing wrong with appreciating the craftmanship AND driving the hell out of a Porsche GT3 RS. Different strokes

I usually post about health but I thought I would share this. I hope it saves some of you from bad consumer decisions:
Totally agree. I feel the same way about expensive cars. Buying a "nice" car was one of the worst decision I have ever made. I was constantly worried about it getting damaged and it began to own me.
I will only buy trucks that I can beat up for the rest of my life.
Don't let the things you own end up owning you.

🚨 MIKE POSNER SAYS HIS $70,000 ROLEX MADE HIM MISERABLE — SO HE DITCHED IT FOR A $40 TIMEX American singer and producer Mike Posner says buying a luxury Rolex turned out to be one of the worst “deals” he ever made. He thought the watch would make him feel cooler. Instead, it made him anxious. Posner says every time he traveled with it, he was constantly worried: • it would get scratched • a backpack zipper would damage the face • he’d forget it in a hotel safe He says the watch was a Rolex Day-Date with a diamond bezel, a model often referred to as the “Presidential” Rolex because it has been worn by multiple U.S. presidents. Eventually he realized something unsettling. “I didn’t possess the Rolex… it possessed me.” So he ditched it. Now he wears a simple Timex and says it gives him way more joy because he doesn’t have to worry about it. His message: “Don’t slave away for possessions… don’t let your possessions possess you.” Did Mike Posner just say the quiet part out loud about luxury status symbols?

@nickkokonas Their days are numbered. No money, no support, and now directly antagonizing once supportive neighbors. A new dawn in Iran is here and will hopefully support a long term relationship with the US a la Israel. A rich culture that has longed to be economic partners with us.
English
Iran supported: Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, PMF's in Iraq ++
While it's too early by far to assess the direct war with Iran, it's illustrative of the discourse in the US that post Oct 7 very few have tied the dismantling of these proxy orgs that worked on their behalf vs. US.

@dennishegstad Much more likely to buy Venmo from PayPal. The only asset that's worth anything to Stripe IMO

@theisaacmed I've been here almost my whole life. Ironically, you're right in the sense the technology enabled life here, but wrong in the sense that it was modern. Thousands of years ago, canals were dug for irrigation and farming, that still exist today. AC or not, people will manage.
English
Phoenix is in the most literal sense a testament to humanity’s hubris.
There are over 1m people here, but there is no water.
The roads are massive. The side walks nice. But no one is ever outside.
The urban sprawl is at a level I’ve never seen before. Endless endless suburbia with no mixed zoning.
During summer if you are outside too long you might die. People wake up at 3am to walk their dogs because it gets so hot.
My close friends moved here years ago and have been trying to convince others in my friend group to move.
The only real pro I can see is affordability.
But I also believe that this city is a monument to modern technology.
It’s beautiful in a sense.
It can’t exist without air conditioning.

@kimmonismus latency still sucks. the only voice agent that nails latency is @sesame
English
This is nuts; Elevenlabs nailed it. Voice but especially latency.
After reading Matt Shumer's article, it's become even clearer to me what he means when he says that AI will soon encompass all other areas as well.
Who needs call center agents when you have such a human-like AI?
ElevenLabs@ElevenLabs
Introducing Expressive Mode for ElevenAgents - voice agents so expressive, they blur the line between AI and human conversations. This is an unedited recording of an agent empathizing with a customer at peak frustration.

Btw, this is by far the best widely available milk I’ve ever tasted. Totally changed my relationship with milk. Highly recommend
Zak Kukoff@zck
Can’t believe I bought 6 gallons of milk and 30 little treats for this

I honestly can’t believe realtors still exist in 2026.
Every property I’ve ever bought, I found on my own, I determined my offer etc. the realtor is a glorified assistant for any non-first time buyer.
So how is there not a platform that allows for the selling, buying, paperwork generation to cut them out of the process for those who don’t think 6% of sales price is equivalent to the value they offer?
Same real estate regulations would apply to the real estate platform. Make Facebook marketplace for property. Have professionals on deck to assist customers through process but don’t charge $50k to basically talk to the seller.
What am I missing here? Real estate feels like it’s light years behind the times
