After 3 years at @a16z, I’m excited to once again be independent — and relaunch my newsletter, Acute Condition! I’m convinced that the next era of healthcare will be dominated by discussion about state capacity (do we have enough physicians? Why are pharma supply chains so weak?)

In the age of AI, it's more important than ever for founders to engage with editorial & PR, have a POV, and be able to share it clearly. People can tell when something is ghostwritten! My tips for how founders should think through editorial in @chrissyfarr's Second Opinion:…

The $40 billion youth sports industry is catching the attention of private equity — a development that will raise costs and push youth sports out of reach for everyday Americans. "To increase profits... these firms could raise fees for tournaments, rink time and other assets"

This is particularly dangerous from a mental health perspective — the built-in sycophancy can drive some to psychosis acutecondition.com/p/trust-psycho…

I’m mildly obsessed w this topic: How the personality of AIs will affect our own personalities. Young people in particular who grow up in an age of AI are going to interact frequently with a friendly conversation partner who sucks up constantly and validates every neurosis.…

For the few years I've been covering jobs reports, and one sector typically rises above the rest, quietly hiring by the thousands: Health care. How taking care of humans became the biggest employer in America, and what it means for the rest of us. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I’m new to parenthood but my generation of parents doesn’t seem to realize they can say no to things…including screens, travel sports, and other opt-in things that take time and money from your family

shared this with my long-suffering boomer dad, who goes, "give them chores, dammit!"

Can we fully trust AI with our perception of reality? (Not yet) acutecondition.com/p/trust-psycho…

One of my favorite research strategies for my newsletter is to listen to niche industry-specific podcasts — which would be a lot easier if the podcast apps would improve their search function even a tiny bit

Just incredible. What an achievement.

Our healthcare workers need our help. The latest advancements in AI offer a massive opportunity to support. But this can’t happen without these next steps. @JayRughani @CF_Rom @OliviaWKosloff @WillShrank a16z.com/ai-the-teammat…

If you're Jewish, being on social media has been particularly joyless this past week. A meaningful part of @OliviaWKosloff and my wedding plans was our traditional Jewish ceremony. So we're happy to close the week by sharing these photos we just got back.

Life Update: @OliviaWebbC and I got married in Austin earlier this month!

Next chapter of our @a16z healthtech GTM series is about selling through channel partners—PBMs, EHRs, GPOs, TPAs, Plans, etc. If your startup does this, we'd love to hear your perspective and potentially feature you in the blog! Just fill this survey out: a16z.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8w…
