Our Managing Partner Brett Gibson sat down with Tanay Tandon at Slush in Helsinki to talk about building Athelas into a next-gen healthcare operating system. Tanay shared insights on their 2023 merger with Commure, how AI is reshaping healthcare workflows, and what it means to be a "compound startup" in the industry. "The most valuable asset of our company wasn’t the hardware, but the knowledge of how to scale a healthcare practice.” We’ve been proud to back Athelas since 2018 and can’t wait to see how they continue pushing healthcare forward. Big thanks?to the Slush team for organizing the event.

I’ve said it a million times, and now Alicia Adamczyk from Fortune is saying it too: Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or older generations—it’s for everyone. Yes, that includes millennials, Gen Z, and those with modest estates.??? In fact, modest estates could actually benefit the most from an estate plan. Why? Because every dollar spent on settling an estate is a dollar less that goes into your pocket. Whether it’s $10,000 or $1 million, that money could make a life-changing difference. Thanks for chatting with me, Alicia, and for shedding light on why younger generations need to start thinking about their estate plans now. https://lnkd.in/gV6MdTsu
