When we started The Athletic, the idea was to bring sports fans into every little crevice of the sports they love by hiring great people in every stadium in the world.
Evan, Jamie, and team are doing that for something way messier and important: local politics.
More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem.
We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States.
Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow.
@StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that.
We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible.
In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively.
Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

This is so unbelievably good. Captures the inner struggles of excellence really well. I feel for A.J. and understand him better now.
Beneath all the speculation and red-alert headlines, A.J. Brown is chasing greatness — on his terms.
If you must understand anything about him, it’s why catching the football is existential.
And how he must manage its confines: nytimes.com/athletic/6721175…

I've spent my entire career focused on helping humans improve both mentally and physically.
To keep that ball rolling... I'm excited to officially share that I’ve partnered with @eternal, and not just as a podcast sponsor on @LongRunLabs and @ForTheLRPod, but as a consultant and sales lead helping shape their sales and go-to-market strategy.
If you work in the outdoor, performance, or endurance space; whether building a brand, a product, or your own engine, you’ve probably had the same thought I’ve had: We spend so much time optimizing the work, but not nearly enough time on ourselves.
That’s exactly why Eternal stood out.
They’re building personalized healthcare for athletes, operators, and high-performers: people who treat health and performance like a long-term investment, not a short-term fix.
Their flagship offering is a two-hour, in-person Performance assessment in NYC or SF, the "yearly physical for athletes" including 70+ biomarker blood tests, metabolic testing, mobility screens, and movement analysis — all interpreted by sport-informed clinicians.
No fluff, no generics, just actionable insight tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
If you want next level support, you can opt for the Pro Plan, which includes year-long access to a Care Team that includes dietitians and physicians.
Looking for a lighter option? Check out Foundations.
This is the kind of data-driven, evidence-backed care that I’m stoked to have now that I’m squarely in my mid 30’s, and I’m fired up to help bring it to more athletes who need it.
🎙️ You’ll hear more about Eternal on Long Run Labs in an upcoming chat with founder and CEO @amather (he founded and sold The Athletic to The New York Times!), and from Kelsey Bailey, lead dietitian on FTLR, in an episode all about performance nutrition for runners. And maybe we can even get Larissa Rivers on to talk about her world marathon majors training and goal!
📊 You can check out their offerings at eternal.co - and leave a reply if you're interested in a sweet deal 😉
💡 If you’re curious about the experience or company, I’m always down to chat
I've been super impressed by the team led by Alex Mather, as he brought many of his colleagues from Strava to The Athletic, and now to Eternal. Says a lot about the leader and overall culture when colleagues stick together for not just two, but three businesses.
And look at that advisory board!
Let’s build better... and stay healthy while we’re at it.
1) A beautiful, in-depth fueling strategy and plan with precision targets for calories and macros.
2) A thorough supplement review to dial your stack based on your deficiencies and performance needs.
Finally, we create a set of goals with biomarker-level targets for you. All accompanied with detailed videos and blue prints for delivering results.
Foundations is available now in select states and the entire country soon.
More here: open.substack.com/pub/eterna…
What if your doctor could combine your Strava and blood data to provide more than just biomarker results?
There's now a blood lab for athletes.
Eternal Foundations is a $499 blood lab built for runners, cyclists, and anyone else who demands more from their body.
First, we run a comprehensive health check, benchmarking you against your peers, not the entire population. Heart, Metabolism, Hormones, major organs, and more.
We then check you for common performance related issues like dehydration, overtraining, and low-energy availability.

We collaborated with @amather and the team towards the tail end of 2024 to create a beautiful brand that aimed to design an identity bridging sports and medicine without screaming sports and medicine.
Big shoutout to the team for trusting our team and letting us do our thing 😎

Athletes are stuck navigating their health via reddit, podcasts, labs-by-mail, friends—not their doctor.
Traditional care treats symptoms and baselines, not the whole person or their goals.
Excited to back @amather + team as they build the future of performance healthcare.
First check in at Eternal. Committed before I incorporated.
We at @terraincap are thrilled to back @amather and the Eternal team.
