You say you want a revolution? Well you know, we all want to change the world. now: Founder @joinsummer, scout @sequoia. Ex-@wearehims @HarvardHBS @twitter
- I try to live every day with the confidence of a VC bro who just read two articles on a topic and is now a thought leader.
- This might be a fun time to remind everyone that when I worked on the Spirit Airlines IPO in 2011 in banking, the management team refused to fly Spirit. They flew @Delta for the roadshow.
- I'm surprised that no one has started a daycare center open from 5-11pm. Understandably harder to staff, but parents would pay an insane premium to get some later hours coverage to work, do dinner, etc.
- 1/It’s the honor of a lifetime to announce the public beta launch of Summer Health (@joinsummer) and our $7.5M seed round from @Alfred_Lin at @sequoia, @deenashakir at @Lux_Capital, @BoxGroup, @ChelseaClinton and more. We connect you with pediatricians via text within 15 minutes.
- I’m obsessed with the idea that every single American should have a phone number they can text to get medical care within 15 minutes. I will work tirelessly until this is a reality.
- I love the debates about quitting alcohol and quitting caffeine as if a huge % of women haven't had to involuntarily do both simultaneously while also growing a human for long periods of time multiple times in their lives.
- There is no number of @HarvardHBS negotiation classes that can prepare you for a negotiation battle with a 2-year old.
- 1/Some personal news 🎉: After 4 exhilarating years at @wearehims, I have decided to make the leap to entrepreneurship. It's been an incredible ride helping the business grow from seed to IPO, and even more remarkable to think about all of the lives we've touched while doing it.
- Mychart has to be the single worst product experience on the planet.
- It's hard to describe the pride I feel to watch @wearehims go public today! It's been an incredible journey to work alongside @AndrewDudum @hilaryacoles @jackabraham @joespector and the whole team, and it's just the start. Thanks to all who supported us! Future you awaits! 🎉
- Our hearts are bursting with love! On 4/25/19 we welcomed Spencer Julian Eckstein into the world. He boasts a full head of strawberry blond hair and is settling in as NY’s cutest resident.
- My sleep stack: -Eight sleep mattress -I have two young children -I don't sleep
