Okay, we're back with another segment of pitch it to J Cal dot tech domains is giving twist listeners the chance to show off their startups on this week in startups, go to startups.tech slash Jason to apply. It's only one rule, you need to have a dot tech domain to get featured in this ad. This week I'm going to tell you about handprint.tech. Handprint.tech connects companies with environmental projects. How cool. And this helps brands increase their impact while boosting performance by associating with planet positive projects. Here's an example. You ever go to one of those websites and you see a counter ticking up how many trees have been planted from purchases? Well, that's handprint.tech. It's really simple. Companies select their impact campaign, then they can track and display their progress in public. Just a win-win The company wins, they hit their goals, the customer wins, they feel great, and the environment wins, obviously. If you want to be featured on this week in startups like handprint.tech, it's very simple. Go to startups.tech and apply today. That's startups.tech and fill out the form to apply. So when did you decide you wanted to get into healthcare? Because in venture capital, in our industry, there's a couple of industries that you really want to steer clear of. Healthcare, the music industry and education are three industries where startups go to die because they're regulated they move slowly and and uh they they sometimes are resistant to change so so when did you decide yeah and

i'm not sure i disagree with any of those so so look i

didn't want to get

into healthcare i didn't wake up one morning and be like healthcare is my thing you know i was at Google. You mentioned this. I was working for Larry. I was building a bunch of the alphabet companies. Like, think of what my life was. Like, I was literally a kid in a damn candy store. Every idea I'd have, pitch Larry, get a few billion dollars, go build it. Before that, I was building a bunch of the AI stuff at Google. Like, I was literally like living the dream, honestly. And then, got an older brother who lives in New York and he had a heart attack. And so I kind of went from like not paying attention to healthcare to overnight being super focused on it. And honestly, Jacob, like think of my experience, right? On a Monday, I'm like at Google trying to solve AI. And on a Tuesday, I'm like, you know, in my brother's exam room standing over him with like, like there's doctors standing over him with like post-it notes in their hand. And I'm just sitting here and I'm like, are you kidding me? But like, like what the hell? Like how'd we end up here? Right? Like where's the AI? And you quickly realize honestly that healthcare is just a pile of crap, but what's worse, it's not even an evenly distributed pile of crap, right? There's 8 billion people on the planet, less than 2 billion of them have access to anything you and I would call like a real form of care. So I'm sitting here and I'm like, just trying to figure this out. I'm like, how do we end up here? I'm an engineer. We got smartphones to the whole planet. Why can't we get basic healthcare there? And when you kind of just think about it, it's like fundamentally healthcare is based on doctors and nurses. Doctors are awesome. They're great, but you're never going to scale doctors to billions of people. There's not enough of them. They cost too much. So, at some point, you realize you need some other solution. And being a tech guy, I'm sitting here and I'm like, well, we build products. Healthcare is a service, but we build products. So, then you kind of have to click and say, well, wait a minute. Maybe healthcare could be a product, not a service. Maybe we can take every single thing that kind of the doctors and nurses are doing and just kind of migrate it over to hardware and software because if you can look it's hard but if you can like oh my god like you can scale healthcare to the whole planet you can apply all the ai you want it's going to be it's going to be absolutely awesome now you said well hold on startups, startups in the healthcare space are really hard. And like, yeah, that's the understatement of the day. Because you know what, I, you know, like most startups, you start with this naivete of like, oh, it can't be that difficult. I'll just go solve it. It'll take me a year and I'll be done, right? It's a necessity to have that naivete. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because if you did know how hard it was going to be, you wouldn't do it. By the time you're like pot committed, now you're like, oh, now I realize it, but whatever, I'm already in. So look, here's what we did. We basically, I don't know, when you want to boil the ocean, you got to start somewhere, right? Elon starts at the Model S and goes to the Model 3. So you ask a little like, well, what's our Model S? Our Model S is basically that we built a high-tech doctor's office. I think you've seen one of them. We built one in SF. It did pretty well. We've scaled it up to, I don't know, 20 cities or so. And so that's really awesome. But obviously, you're like, okay, Adrian, but a high-tech doctor's office is never going to scale to billions of people, never bring about your AI future. But in essence, it kind of has because what we're doing is just looking at what's happening inside of those clinics. And you come in, you sit in the exam chair, you talk to your doctor about the flu and i go wait a minute why jay cal come in let's just build that into the mobile app next guy talks to doctor about skin issues i build a skin scanner next guy talks to doctor about heart issues i build a body scanner and slowly but surely what i've been doing is just migrating every single thing from kind of doctor and nurse to hardware and software until we realize that the limit we are only building hardware and software like we don't even believe the doctor's office should exist we kind of think that's a thing of the past and that's kind of what we're that's kind of the the thing that we're announcing now so i just shared my screen with you i think you can probably see

this beautiful yeah we have to describe this because majority

will be listening but totally okay i see a blue beautiful oversized so this is called the forward care pod and let
