My deep gratitude to all the people who built this. It is a joy to see this in the world. It took a decade of poking and prodding and most importantly a stubborn belief that good experiences should exist. Thank you for bringing this to life.

- I know this is a cliche... but it really is stunning to go back to a small company and see what a team of 3 (or even 1) people can get done -- shoot that shit in my veins.
- Today we're launching General Medicine (@generalmedco), a store that lets you shop for healthcare like you shop for everything else — giving you access to the best care in the world. It’s deeply rewarding to be in the saddle again and serving customers.
00:00 - Replying to @AustenIn real life it’s much less dramatic than the way it’s described there. But yes you can exhaust the brain just like any other part of the body and the energy generated from a magnet is a great way to do it.
- This is the singular most EV negative advice about the earliest stages that I have ever seen.This is why Founders need to hire a CRO pre-product. “You need a sales expert that can conduct 1,000’s of phone calls. Asking questions like: - Will you get value out of it? - How would you get value out of it? - What are some of the things you need to see in the product?
00:00 - Eleven years on from starting PillPack with @tjparker, after becoming lifelong friends, and watching our kids become friends, I can say without hesitation - you want him on your cap table. He’ll make you better. He’ll make your company better.Parker whiled away the hours between tech jobs heliskiing and working on his family's farm trib.al/G7mUqw6
- General Medicine, a health startup created by @PillPack founders @tjparker and @elliotcohen, launched today with $32 million in funding. trib.al/9MQdd2w
- We’ve tried a lot of weird ideas to make healthcare work better. Except the ones that work in the other 80% of the economy (consumer is customer, competition matters)
- Replying to @eladgilbest meeting I had at amzn... senior person in the room opened the doc, read for 5 min, then ended the meeting "this clearly isn't ready for me" and walked out of the room. if you arent willing to do that then the culture will trend toward long terrible docs.
- Personal news from TJ and me...
- For the past 4 years I've been lucky enough to ski in Alaska with @Alaskaheliski. It's a life changing experience every year to be in those mountains, and this year got to knock off a big one...
- I am very proud of our team's hard work on this and excited that it is even easier for our customers to get the medications they need
- Congrats to all of the teams who launched this. To my knowledge it is the first product of its kind and now joins a family of other affordability solutions to help customers (Prime Discount Card, Manufacturer discounts, etc).Amazon launches RxPass, a $5/month Prime add-on for all-you-need generic drugs covering 80 conditions tcrn.ch/3WDJpCh by @ingridlunden
