@Mike_kim714 Here you go! From a trip in 2023. This was our favorite course and we played some great ones!

Should have taken more pictures of the hole with the wall cutting across next to the green. Maybe next time.

Overall bunkering is super cool because you know the penalty is so high if you hit it into one of these.

Today’s logo. Underrated in my opinion. What’s some more under the radar ones you like?

@tjparker Don’t disagree I think you’d appreciate the Oshi model…this is why we have the traction we do (driving short term and long term outcomes). This isn’t where plans we talk to get stuck. Brittany can tell you all about it! 😁

The vast majority of commercial “value based” care is bullshit. There’s only two ways to drive down in-plan-year cost (the only thing the payer cares about) — care avoidance or shifting to lower cost site of care. Nearly all the other clever models or things optimized for long-term outcomes (which the payer doesn’t actually care about) don’t work.

One thing I’ll never understand about healthcare startups is the instinct to take a ‘strategic’ route rather than an administrative / tactical approach. You don’t need a top-to-top meeting to get in network with a payer. Just fill out the paperwork. You don’t need a strategic relationship with quest / labcorp to integrate scheduling or get competitive pricing. Just work with an existing vendor. If things go well you can elevate to a strategic relationship over time. But you’ll never get off the starting line with the strategic approach.

@mollybonak Or I’m good at prompting.

@youpickforme Chatgpt is your best hype man!

I asked chatgpt to create an image of me based on what it knows about me and this is what I got...

@mollybonak Here’s mine…. 😂

so my best guess of how it chose this image is I've asked for pregnancy safe workouts before; I've asked chatgpt to conjugate verbs in farsi for me; and I've had it help me code a game with unicorns in it for my 3 year old daughter. 🤣

@Trace_Cohen @mollybonak Yo!!

Startups used to be simple

@StuartBlitz @htabaie seems like an interesting idea… 😂

I’m pretty excited about my new angel investment. Tech friend said he had to manually take his data on a CD from one doctor to another. He had this amazing insight to create a cloud-based solution so data can just flow EMR to EMR. Seems like a $100B company. Anyone interested?

@mollybonak I think you forgot getting to help start an amazing company along with your long lost brother from another mother.

I've thought a lot about what resonates on X and drives engagement. People appreciate when others share insights that are unique to them and authentic. So I started thinking about what is unique to me. It is a helpful exercise in reflecting on the cool things about my life but also a huge motivator to do more! We've got one life, why not make it unique? Here is the start of my list 1. working in VC through 3 pregnancies in 3 years 2. incubating a gene therapy manufacturing co in columbus, oh 3. Living in Boston, New York, and Chicago before CHOOSING to live in Columbus, Oh because that is where I see the biggest opportunity for me and my family 4. going mountain biking with my coworkers, falling a minimum of 10 times (including off a bridge into a creak) but still finishing the course. I am the definition of an X lurker - always reading, never posting but I am going to try and change that in 2025 starting with the things I think are unique to me. We shall see how it goes...

@RebeccaCoelius Love it! Did ”working with Randy is fun” make the top 5-10 list of convincing arguments? 😁

Scrub Capital had to do very little selling to bring practicing GI physicians and G2M experts into a SPV for Oshi Health. Why? Partial solutions divorced from the rest of a patient’s care journey are OUT. Comprehensive models like Oshi that deliver clear outcomes, and collaborate effectively with other clinicians and care delivery systems are IN. Congrats to Oshi and the final close of your oversubscribed Series C! We can’t wait to help you continue to scale and change the future of GI care. @slotkinjr @chrissyfarr prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

@tjparker Do a 20 hour road trip for family vacation…you will see a clear second use case. Or you can talk for 3 hours about how you might have left the unicorn sleep mask at the house.

The only time kids should have an iPad is on an airplane

@RebeccaCoelius I think it was moreso you and me trying to keep @BimalRShah ego in check…. 😁🤣.

There is a particular aura of undeserved arrogance you get from people employed at the currently hot startup or fancy firm. I know it well, because I was embarrassingly there myself a few years ago. Don’t do this. People don’t forget, and the deck chairs rearrange every cycle.

@StuartBlitz Sounds interesting. Do tell!

Top ways to succeed in health tech: 1. Great team 2. Excellent GTM 3. The timing of Livongo

@RebeccaCoelius Wait, isn’t that all you need?? 😉

Another day another example of someone who should know better thinking a wildly commercially successful company just has good sales people.

@StuartBlitz I expect this to be the next words you say to me.

Whenever someone tells me they worked at Livongo, I tell them their acquisition is on the Mount Rushmore of acquisitions

@halletecco @hoh_pod Hmmm…can I get a hint? Have I beaten him golfing? 🤣

@StuartBlitz I’ll be there so if I see you I’ll make sure to…run the other way! 😜

Who else will be at Vive next week? Any fun events I should attend? If want to say hi or talk cancelable health tech tweets, ping me.

@RebeccaCoelius @chrissyfarr Or immediately see their @OshiHealth GI doc and have their prescription waiting for them at the pharmacy when they arrive!

I wager half the people complaining at @chrissyfarr would not hesitate to go to the pharmacist for their GI distress or pink eye if they were the ones traveling

@StuartBlitz I’ll take a roast pork with broccoli rob please.

IYKYK

@nealkhosla Don’t rub it in!! But also invite me out west to visit often please between Dec and Feb. thx.
