Episode notes

The company recently raised a series of fund as I mentioned at the beginning. And I think your company is now at a post valuation of $3.1 billion. Love to learn what was the purpose of the raise and what are you hoping to do with that capital? One thing I will caution fellow entrepreneurs on is that never confuse your valuation with your value. It's really tempting and easy to use that as like a metric of success. Don't do that ever.

Founded in 2014, Aledade works with over 11,000 physicians across 40 States accounting for 1.7 million patients under management in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial and Medicaid contracts.
