We just published peer-reviewed research on 4 years of building mental health services for Spanish-speaking adults.
6,163 users. 36,858 sessions. All 50 states. NPS of +85.
The takeaway: language and cultural concordance aren't features — they're prerequisites.

Only 35% of Latino/x adults with mental illness get care. Persistent barriers like poverty, cultural stigma, 👨⚕️provider shortages & language hurdles stop many from seeking help.

1/We think the biggest company in the world will be a consumer health tech company. Four of the top five biggest companies in the world are consumer companies, and healthcare is one of the nation’s biggest industries. @daisydwolf @a16z @a16zBioHealth

Americans are heading to Mexico.
The number of U.S. citizens granted permits to reside temporarily in the country was up 85% from 2019.
Through September, Mexico granted 8,412 permits to Americans, compared to 4,550 in the first three quarters of 2019.
