    Well, shoot. My kid’s first interpretable word is definitely “Alexa” Machine 1, Mom 0

    Finally let my son “splurge” on something my immigrant parents could never bring themselves to allow me to do with money: deposited $0.51 into a machine to get back only $0.01, which has itself lost its value in the name of becoming a ‘souvenir’ 😅

    Building in biotech / healthcare is HARD We recognize this. We respect the journey. We expect failures. This is why we @a16z raised large bio venture $1.5b (+ growth $5b) funds: not to deploy capital lightly, but to join teams taking serious risks, over the very long run #JPM22

    “These founders are hungry, creative scientists who realized the impact of their work before others did, and now are leading the charge to bring their innovations to the world.” Founder-led teams deliver outsized success in other sectors; we agree, they can in biotech too!

    Spoke w/ 16yo about his (very rare, incurable) metastatic lung cancer diagnosis. Extraordinarily mature teenager. On chemo. “Either I’ll live and be awesome, or I won’t be here to know what I missed, so either way it’ll be OK” F*ck cancer. And stay awesome, kid #oncologydiary

    1/ Everyone's talking about video visits. But are they really the greatest gift of digital health? I think they’re a red herring. Just a new medium for the same old episodic care. REAL change will come as we transition to systems of "Always-On Triage"
