It seems mental health is on everyone’s mind of late. Our MBAs have been working like crazy to keep up with what has suddenly become a very tech-dominated industry, especially in the area of telehealth. It wasn’t that long ago (nearly 18 months to be exact) that we first published a list of some of […]
For quality tech stocks that have traction, the original thesis doesn’t change much over time. Sometimes, a good company will have a bad quarter, and the stock price will drop -30%, presenting a possible buying opportunity. That’s how we ended up holding shares of Alteryx and Splunk, two purchases that were quite hypocritical considering how […]
It’s no secret that big tech companies like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Alphabet (GOOG), the parent company of Google, are investing in digital healthcare. The market opportunity is pretty enticing when you consider that the U.S. alone spent $3.65 trillion on healthcare just last year. Google made the latest headline-grabbing move when it announced […]
If you took all the blood vessels in an adult human and laid them out in a single line it would stretch to almost 100,000 miles, enough to circle the entire globe four times. Imagine designing a pump to push liquid through that massive nest of blood vessels and you’ll end up with a newfound […]
There are some trends out there that are hard to explain. Consider that the music video Gangnam Style has gotten more than 3.2 billion views on YouTube, probably making more money than the top-10 AI startups in South Korea combined. Some are much easier to explain, like everyone suddenly wanting to be a ganjapreneur and […]
Time flies when you’re having fun, and we realized that it’s been over four years since we first wrote about a company named Proteus Digital Health which has now grown up to become a beautiful, mature unicorn. It’s actually been a unicorn since 2014, and most recently made news with the world’s first FDA approved digital medicine, a pill called […]
It’s not easy to make it in today’s business world. Why do you think we have so many MBAs writing for us? The chance of becoming the next Uber or next Apple is infinitesimally small. Anecdotally, we all understand that most startups fail, but the bright minds at CB Insights finally started putting some hard […]
We’re in an era where we can edit genes to create nanobots and read people’s minds onto chips, yet some things haven’t changed much. The light bulb, the mousetrap, the hypodermic needle, and the eye dropper have all stayed the same since there isn’t any pressing need to change what already works. In the case of […]
Less than a year ago, we wrote an article about Theranos titled “5 Reasons Why Theranos Could IPO Soon“. One of those reasons was that since it had been over 5 years since taking in their last funding round, firms who had invested $800 million into the most highly valued healthcare startup in the world valued […]
We talked about how the “Internet of Things” (IoT)” is going to connect everything around us and at the same time create massive amounts of information that can be analyzed and acted upon. The market for “digitally enabled medicine” is creating opportunities for companies such as Proteus with their digital medicine and Propeller Health with their “intelligent […]
