I have made it abundantly clear to partners & employees health comes first, made sure they have access to a health plan, and made sure they can actually get appointments with providers. In fact that stance is probably the only reason we’re still in business and they’ve been loyal through some rough patches.

Right before my cofounder and I wrote down our values, when we were done, I said, okay, now we’re both going to schedule the labs and checkups I know we’ve both been procrastinating.

Let’s just say that was the difference between stage 1 and stage 4… by a few months. It has been probably our defining corporate value ever since. And yeah I don’t ever expect an outside investor to like that.
