Early days, but so far General Medicine has the highest NPS of anything we’ve built (pillpack, amazon pharmacy, amazon clinic) and frankly, any consumer product I’ve seen. And PillPack was always kicking around 80.
I’ve never understood the trope “missionaries not mercenaries”, especially coming from massive for-profit corporations. Can someone explain this to me?

Maybe we’re thinking about this healthcare startup capitalization thing all wrong
