Lovely to see the Jon Norris’ (formerly of SVB) inaugural HSBC Venture Healthcare Report covering the first half of 2023. business.us.hsbc.com/en/camp…

Also deeply disappointed in this piece. I spent the weekend making sure that 10-person companies could make payroll despite their SVB deposits evaporating, ensuring EAs and technicians could get paid. This rescue wasn't about rich ppl! SVB-backed companies employed 1.4 M folks
I’ll admit I’m normally a fan of the NYT and The Daily. But good god their latest episode on SVB is such a joke it’s unbelievable, clearly have no idea what they’re even talking about

Nailed it
State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

Driving on hwy 101 today, I saw a large white Tesla driving aggressively up the rear of a small car … basically being a car Karen. Large BMWs used to be “that person” … Tesla people, don’t do it!

What if the JPM healthcare conference turns out to be a super spreader event? I have heard of 3 people who attended stuff and tested positive on Wed or Th last week

Since when did Halloween become dog torture day? (These are my sister’s dogs)?

It’s clear to me that @PeteButtigieg is the single most effective communicator the Dems have. He understands policy, politics & is a good human. Well worth the quick watch
When Pete Buttigieg comes for someone, he doesn’t carry a sledgehammer…he wields a scalpel. And in this must-see clip, Pete slices Ron DeSantis into a million little pieces.

Tough crowd. @venrock led @athenahealth first VC round (was an angel&MD round prior); led @IncludedHealth A round (was a seed prior); & was sole VC seeding (and still largest investor) in each of @DevotedHealth, @AledadeACO, and @LyraHealth... fortune.com/2022/09/23/top-v…

Having just spent another $500 on cardiology for this 17 yo creature, I am stunned by the cost of having an old animal (whom I adore). I haven’t looked into pet insurance but it might be worth it if the dog is still young! Deaf, CHF, collapsed trachea, elevated liver values, …

I have to admit that, while I love so much about living in California, the whole kids go back to school in mid August thing sucks … it’s hard that our summer is over already while my east coast friends/family have that summer mood until Labor Day

Zoom norm question: thoughts on the behavior of joining a zoom by video but never turning on your own video (they can us but we can't see them)? I have joined telephonically (when driving) and have turned off my video intermittently but the one-way-video notion is odd to me...🙃

With the private market downturn, I've seen an explosion of SPAM fundraising emails/calls - people asking me to invest in crypto, SaaS, fintech, etc. Its not subtle that I'm a devoted healthcare investor! My hunch: CEOs/bankers are going for volume of outreaches in this market
