NEW COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT Today, I turned 40 and I’m launching a new company! At Alchemy, we are focussed on advancing HIV access and equity in America. We are powering the future of 340B pharmacy, starting with on-site pharmacies for covered entities. We are building exclusively clinic-owned and vendor-operated pharmacies focusing on STD clinics, Ryan Whites, and FQHCs. We provide the entire physical, clinical, and digital infrastructure needed to operate and grow best-in-class 340B programs. My only birthday wish is if you or anyone you know works in the HIV space (more specifically pharmacy, 340B, covered entities, safety net providers, STD clinics, Ryan White clinics, FQHC, community health workers), I would be grateful if you could connect us or @message me directly. 🙏

Hey @tboypod love your simplistic finance views, except when they’re just way off. The value of the Robinhood tech stock portfolio is not the sum total of each companies valuation?! They own a tiny sliver of each company so its value is proportional to amount of stock owned

“The fear of the future is directly proportional to how small your ambitions are. If your plan is to keep doing exactly what you’re doing, change is terrifying. If your plan is dramatically bigger, change is the best news.” Via Garry’s List garryslist.org/posts/red-robi…

@descript For my late night project tonight I need to figure out how to export specific scenes in a project. Can't seem to figure out how to do this on Mac Desktop app, and now I have to, given the pricing changes. Previously I would just create a new project and start with the same video, but now I have to pay for the transcription twice and risk running out of credits (which is insanely frustrating in the middle of a project btw!)

God dammit @descript pricing your product by video transcription minutes is the most unintuitive way to think about video editing software. Now I have to think about trimming and pre-processing a video every single time before uploading a video to Descript. Super annoyed!!😡

I have no idea why this popped up today in my inbox as an unread email, but talk about a blast from the past! If you know... you know CC @ManuKumar "Hello, I am new to Mechanical Turk, however I have very much enjoyed working on your HITS. My approval rating is currently at 100% and I was wondering how many business card transcriptions I will need to do in order to be eligible to apply for a "Trusted Worker" qualification with you. Thank you for your time and I look forward to working on your HITS for you in the future!"

I've mis-fired a bunch in the past hiring finance talent. I'm scared to even say we are looking for a "Finance Leader", because what I really need is a Finance Do-er. What's your best advice for me on Finance Hire #1 for an early stage startup?

As a founder building in-house pharmacies for safety net clinics, this hits home. Last week, @Novartis echoed @Amgen : No more 340B-priced meds for STD clinics. These aren't just "STD clinics" they're the ONLY door for HIV+ folks, PrEP seekers, STI patients, & entire communities facing healthcare bias. Denying access? It's a step back that endangers lives. Peter Park nailed it in his letter: "The front door to care, and often the only door patients enter" I'm calling on @VasNarasimhan and @Amgen's Bob Bradway, let's talk. Rescind this, or explain why not. 👇

Founder shuts down company that never really got off the ground. Emails investors “you are welcome to invest in whatever I build next on a $100M post-money SAFE”. Sometimes I hate it here.

Big news! 🎉 I am thrilled to announce that @Alchemy_rx has raised a $31M Seed round, led by @a16z with participation from @MagicJohnson, @sherylsandberg, and existing investors Twine Ventures, Springbank and AlleyCorp. This funding enables us to continue building in-house pharmacies for safety net clinics, with a focus on patients living with HIV and Hepatitis C. Last week, I had the privilege of sitting down with Earvin “Magic” Johnson to discuss his personal journey with HIV, his vision for advancing HIV access and equity in the U.S., and the role he believes Alchemy will play in the coming decades.

@Quan @pradeep24 I’ve spent long enough now in startups to say an outsized majority of startup success is luck. But if you do it over many decades, you increase that surface area of luck. Here’s to decade #2 in healthcare 🥂
