@daniel_kraft Thank you @daniel_kraft

The future of mental health isn't a single drug or app, it lies at the convergence of biomarkers, AI, and a real clinical team. I'm excited to see @MeruHealth Advanced, which is bringing that convergence to a category that has needed it for a long time.

@BaszuckiGroup Thank you for your support @BaszuckiGroup !

From our founder and CEO, Kristian Ranta — on the brother whose story still drives this work, and why we built Meru Health Advanced. When 30–40% of patients are labeled "treatment-resistant," it isn't the patients who have failed. It's the model. We're working to change that.

We're excited to share that @BaszuckiGroup has made an investment in Meru Health. baszuckigroup.com More info in the link below: linkedin.com/posts/meru-hea…

Sauna is not only very healthy but also very enjoyable!! :)

Mental health is not what you think! 😉 Years ago, I realized medication and talk therapy weren’t enough for many. That’s what led me to functional mental health — addressing nutrition, sleep, exercise, and metabolic issues as part of recovery. @meruhealth #MentalHealthMatters

@jasonfreedman Meru Health and our founders @ihqkristian @RikuLindholm @alizbazar applied 6 times (yes for real) to get in! :) #Determination

I've read 8,000 Y Combinator applications. You would think the reviewers are thinking through a standard set of questions. Is it a good idea? Is it a large market? Is it an experienced team? Do they have traction? During my time as a reviewer, we went back and tested which questions actually predicted success. The process was look at the best performing companies and then ask whether the application question would disqualify any of the biggest outcomes. If so, eliminate that question. Is it a good idea? Well, Airbnb was a bad idea. Air bed and breakfast. Nobody thought it would work. Is it a large market? Airbnb, Coinbase, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia all started in tiny markets. Experienced team? John and Patrick Collison had no experience in fintech when they built Stripe. Brian Chesky had never built a company. Brian Armstrong was just a product manager. Do they have traction? We learned to invest in slope, not Y intercept. The initial traction doesn't tell you anything about the angle of ascent. Sooooooooooooo...none of these standard questions worked. The best question that predicted success was determination. Who is the most determined? Even if they're not the smartest. Even if the market hasn't developed yet. Even if their initial product is wrong. It outpeformed by a mile. And didn't disqualify the winners. AND was evaluatable. It was so predictive that YC took that one question and found five different ways to ask it.

@drmarkhyman This is exactly what we are seeing as well at @meruhealth Healing is possible!

53 miljoonaa Piilaaksossa keränneen @meruhealth perustaja @ihqkristian on tavannut satoja sijoittajia, hakenut @ycombinator:iin kuusi kertaa ja pohtinut yrittäjyyttä niin henkisen kasvun kuin isojen riskienkin kautta. Tässä jaksossa @timomj:n kanssa selvitämme, mitä on “ilma” – asenne, jossa epäonnistumisen pelko ei tukahduta tekemisen iloa. Kuuntele, miten positiivisuus, periksiantamattomuus ja sopivan kevyt ote rattiin luovat tilaa niin luovuudelle kuin kasvullekin 🙌🏼 open.spotify.com/episode/5q3Sal…
