Congratulations @function Led by Jonathan Swerdlin, expanding beyond blood testing into a vertically integrated health ecosystem, combining 160-panel labs, at-home draws, full-body MRIs, supplement intelligence, and AI-powered health recommendations @TradedVC @fittinsider

What if you could see inside your body before symptoms showed up?
@DanielSodickson, M.D., PhD, Chief Medical Scientist at Function, believes in starting annual MRIs early.
To check signals for hundreds of conditions, including signs of cancer.
Not to create fear. But to create context.
Because the earlier you know what’s normal, the sooner you can catch what’s not.

Happy Easter, America. As you head off to church and celebrate with friends and family, the President of the United States is ranting like an unhinged madman on social media.
He’s threatening possible war crimes and alienating allies.
This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

The Renaissance in Obesity Treatment Innovation panel at #SXSW is shining a light on the future of obesity care. Current options have helped many people, but they don’t work perfectly for everyone. That’s why researchers are exploring new ways to make obesity care safer, easier and more effective.
OAC President and CEO Joe Nadglowski will join Dr. Angela Fitch and Paul Bolno to talk about new ideas in obesity treatment, clear up common myths about obesity and explore what care could look like in the future. Learn more: schedule.sxsw.com/events/PP1…

Commerce is only as good as the rails supporting it.
Just as Plaid and Stripe redefined what's possible in financial services and digital payments, @naturalpay is pioneering a new wave: agentic payments for frictionless money movement between agents, businesses, and consumers.
210 days ago, @naturalpay was just a one-pager and a memo.
Today, we’re coming out of stealth.
Natural is the agentic payments platform powering frictionless money movement between agents, businesses, and consumers.
Wallets. Payments. Ledgering. Routing. Identity. Compliance. Credit. Observability. Risk.
Everything needed to move money. Engineered for agents and designed for humans.
These primitives give you the ability to transact without becoming a payments expert or stitching together a dozen fragmented tools.
Huge thanks to our team of 10 (soon to be 25), our early investors, and the supporters who believed in this vision from the start.
If you want to help shape how money moves over the coming decades, we’re hiring.
And if you’re building agents you should probably be moving money too. Reach out.
Read more about Natural and the products we’re launching in the blog below.

If you're at @SXSW in Austin, please join me on Sunday, 15 March, at 10:00am CT at the JW Marriott, Salon D.
It's my first time speaking in at the event in 7 years, an event where Stephanie Agresta and I used to help program, host, and keynote for over 10 years. It's very special to be back.
