On the move!
One of the first real examples of end-to-end AI-driven medicine. The doctor-patient relationship isn’t going away. AI can make it stronger by automating the transactional parts of care and giving doctors back time for judgment, empathy, and trust. Big fan.
Today, Nolla Health became the first organization in the U.S. (and possibly the world) to receive regulatory approval for an AI to issue initial prescriptions. This makes Nolla the first ever actual end-to-end AI doctor.

1. Big news from @RilletHQ !  We are excited to announce our $13.5M funding led by @firstround and @creandum , with participation from @SusaVentures , @BoxGroup , Go Global Ventures, Puzzle Ventures and an incredible group of builders, operators and angels.  2. Our investors We raised $13.5M to build the next generation accounting platform from some of the world's best investors who backed Uber, Square, Notion, Spotify, Klarna, Robinhood, Ramp, Plaid, Palantir, SpaceX, Airbnb and more. We are lucky to have incredible supporters like @btrenchard, @specht_p , @chadbyers , @kevinhartz , @scottbelsky , @cjc , @dvlamoen , @spillda , Michael Yip, Edwine Alphonse.  3.  What is Rillet Rillet is the next-gen accounting platform purpose built to automate end-to-end accounting workflows. We pull in metadata from your CRM, billing, AP, payroll and automatically create invoices, bills, journal entries, deferred revenue schedules, prepaid schedules, billing forecasts and many more. 93% of journal entries booked in Rillet to date have been done without a human having ever been involved 🤯.  4. Our customers We are lucky to have 70+ customers and hundreds of supporters who share our vision of revamping the ERP from the ground up. We are currently helping those in SaaS, usage and AI finance teams across multiple geographies, currencies and entities 🌍. And we are working hard to bring this magical experience to more industries and countries. 5. Who are we We’re a team of accountants and engineers. We grew frustrated with manual data reconciliation and the arduous implementations and migrations from QBO to Sage, Netsuite and back. We are capable of building reusable rockets 🚀 to space, surely we can build a better accounting and financial system! 6. What is Rillet’s vision We want to make zero day close a reality. In practical terms, this means continuous close, having your information from CRM, billing, AP, payroll etc all sync’d live instantaneously with your accounting system, and having your numbers, metrics, performance real-time for decision making. No more reporting 10 days after quarter end, report day ZERO.  7. We are hiring We are in growth mode, check out rillet.com/careers/ if you share our passion for accounting. If you don’t see a role suitable to your talent and can convince me how you can help move the company forward, drop me a note. 8. Community and events Join us at community@rillet.com and we look forward to seeing you at our future events.   One step closer to zero day close. Read more in comments below.

A further 2000 candidates dropped out due to fear of being murdered. The Mexican government has lost the monopoly on use of power. The running of Mexico is now split between federal government and organized crime.
can’t take peaceful transfer of power for granted.

My last 3 bookings with @Airbnb have now all fallen victim to last minute cancelations by hosts. @airbnb's stance is "sorry, host cancelled" with zero consequences basically rendering it useless due to lack of predictability. So sad.

Congrats to the @commure and @athelas teams! It’s been an incredible journey from the first inception discussions with @htaneja and @quentinclark to seeing healthcare innovation happening at this scale. Lots of work ahead but couldn’t be more excited about the progress.
Today @commurehealth and @Athelas have agreed to combine, and in doing so have created a platform that can help achieve my vision for an ecosystem of Health Assurance companies that together transform health systems. The combined Commure is aligned in its purpose to radically transform the patient and healthcare worker experience for the better, while driving affordability and customer centricity. And doing so profitably, as the best companies align purpose and profit. As part of this drive, we are also launching the Center for Health Assurance Transformation that Daryl Tol will lead to serve our trusted health system partners. We're excited and confident in @Tanay_Tandon and Deepika Bodapati's leadership taking Commure forward, with we believe best-in-class product discipline and core artificial intelligence DNA. None of this would be possible without @azenooz, who has built Commure into what it is today and will continue as an Strategic Advisor. (And selfishly I am excited to work with Ash on other things together next) Thank you @1armaanali and @HumandotCapital for being a great partner to our team in driving this. We are one step closer to having a platform company dedicated to health assurance. @generalcatalyst generalcatalyst.com/perspect…

Second this. Loss of employment means losing your life - home, friend, etc. The gratitude you’ll get from H1b hires will surprise you.
I was once stuck at a job due to a H1B, and let me tell you it's fucking miserable. Recruiters, please start reaching out to folks still at Twitter. They'll be unusually receptive. Hiring someone with a H1B is *trivial*, last I heard it cost $6K and took two weeks

This is perhaps the best response I have read yet from a politician. Having faced a third trimester decision with my partner, I feel confident in saying the government had no possible role there.
Watching @PeteButtigieg refuse to step into traps laid for him by standard shallow media framing of complex issues is a beautiful thing. [via @LadyRaynbow]

Building great tooling for core business operations is fairly recession proof. Congrats to the @assembledhq team. P.s if you are looking for a high quality early stage, post product fit opportunity, ⬇️ is a pretty good bet.
We're delighted to announce our Series B funding, led by @NEA and joined by existing investors @emergencecap and @BasisSet. And to those in the CX world doing the hard work, we've got you. assembled.com/blog/a-series-…

i miss this infrastructure so much. Too many of our streets here are designed like racetracks.
Slower speeds are achieved not by posting a sign, but by engineering means that force drivers to slow down and pay attention. Dutch police do very little traffic enforcement; if too many drivers speed on a street, it is deemed a design failure and sent back to the drawing board.
