“Genius is equally distributed; opportunity is not. In a 2020 study w/ Rock Health, we found that only 24% of digital health funders were venture-backed—many were bootstrapping their business. Investors are missing out on their genius.” — @DrIvorHorn @GoogleHealth #RHSummit22

A brief San Francisco update. As always, SF is a key test case since it's so highly vaxxed (81% of people w/ ≥ 2 shots) & most still follow public health recs (incl. masking). Nevertheless, we see skyrocketing cases; hospitalizations more modest but starting to tick up.(1/12)

THREAD: On #Coronavirus, we may be entering a period of accelerating cases. The country could look very different over next two weeks. We’ll get through this, but need to take steps now to limit the scope and impact of virus. There are things we can do now to help ourselves. 1/n

Often when companies claim pipeline deficiency, our data shows that the reality is a healthy pipeline but biased hiring processes that make job offers unlikely and hostile workplace factors that tank retention, says @tashwilder at #AtlanticInclusion
