Seriously impressive and informative story of someone who started a telehealth business called Medvi that's doing $1.8 billion in sales with AI, contractors, and just one other employee. What we can learn: Timing matters. He focused on using AI to do GLP-1 telehealth right when AI was getting mature enough and the GLP-1 telehealth market was taking off. Contractors matter. AI can do a lot, but contractors are a big part of this story as well. Medvi uses CareValidate and OpenLoop Health for "telehealth in a box," a media agency for ad buying, and contract account managers for a subset of customers. He works a lot (but probably no more than any other early stage entrepreneur of a similarly sized company). He works "basically anytime he's not showering, sleeping or spending time with his two children." This reflects other stories we're hearing of super-AI-powered people. His business is way more efficient than competitors'. Hims, a direct competitor, has 2,442 employees and did $2.4 billion in revenue last year. Medvi's net profit is 16.2% while Hims' is 5.5%. The model scales and he can expand without acquisitions. He sees no advantage to buying companies to expand. Instead, he says it's easier to just extend the model to adjacent areas like men's health products, meal delivery, and women's health products, again using AI and contractors. New business, like men's health, is already growing fast too. Note that The New York Times got access to verify Medvi's financials, so this seems to be a trustworthy story. What's not clear yet is how isolated this may be. Is it a one-off type of story, a hard to replicate success in a specific niche? Or is this a model of what other people can do in other niches? My sense is the latter. I also think that parts of this business that currently go to contractors will be automated by AI over time too. nytimes.com/2026/04/02/tec…



《跳上行駛中的火車》 今年,我想在金礦裡挖黃金, 而不是在垃圾場裡找寶石。 —————— 如果你去問身材很好的人:「為什麼你每天都可以去運動健身?」 那些長期自律的人, 常常會給出一個很相似的答案: 當你已經成功跳上了一台正在前進的火車,自律一點都不困難。 只要你不刻意跳下車,它就會一直往前開。 就像有錢人的錢,大多只會越來越多。 資產會自己長大,你不用每天拼命工作,錢就會幫你生錢。 但我們要怎麼成功跳上那台行駛中的火車? 「先快走,找到感覺之後,再開始小跑步。」 快走,是為了找方向、找節奏、確認自己走在對的路上。 就像很多人一開始只是摸索比特幣、理解區塊鏈, 後來決定 all in,開始小跑步, 最後才有機會在對的時間點衝刺,跳上火車。 成功人士好像很愛講比喻。 講得很簡單、很精彩,聽起來像廢話。 真正困難的地方是信念和實作。 然而也正因為實作太難了, 普通人往往選擇不相信這些「大佬的廢話」, 覺得那離自己太遙遠, 於是連快走都不願意,最後乾脆躺平。 但我不想躺平。 我也不想當普通人。 而且我現在很清楚一件事: 我要跳上 AI 這台火車。 不是衝刺、不是 all in, 而是每天摸索、每天走起來, 讓自己站在軌道旁,跟上它的速度。 至於區塊鏈和加密貨幣, 它現在帶給我的感覺是: 這台火車的車速,已經慢下來了。 人人都可以上車, 基本的理財、定期定額、資產配置就足夠, 不需要再投入過多心力去追逐每一個敘事。 看到很多幣圈人在哀嚎, 相信我, 我也有這種感受, 深陷泥沼的無力感, 所以我想辦法讓自己開始新的學習, 每一次投入新的領域都是重置, 從零開始能夠擁有大躍進的感覺真好, 反正我什麼都不會, 學什麼都是進步!
