Some are slightly more complex stories, two entities that merged and then brought in some corporate backing. Progeny's story looks something like this. But, you know, when I think about these data points, my takeaways are twofold. One is that there's a lot of complexity to the American health care system.

So it's hard for an entrepreneur in the wild to start a health tech startup and be successful. There's a lot of alpha to being able to be slow and considered in the early days of launching something new. And then the other takeaway is that there are a lot of places in the healthcare ecosystem where things are working quite well, but they're subscale. So this is the story of Trellis.

This is hopefully our story with Crosswalk Health, the last company I incubated. And that makes me feel very bullish about incubations as a mechanism for scaling these companies that already are demonstrating great unit economics and viability.

Yeah. So incubating, I would say, means bringing together the ingredients necessary to create a great company. So that includes the concept behind the company, some initial capital, a great CEO and founding team to lead it and scale it, and a general kind of go-to-market playbook that the company can follow to grow. It's really hard for all of these elements to come together themselves.

Yeah, so Crosswalk helps EMS agencies get compensated for the value that they're delivering in their communities. So the story behind Crosswalk is like the 911 system has effectively become the default social safety net for our communities. but it isn't paid for that. So in the process of incubating Crosswalk, I visited maybe 10 or so EMS agencies around the country.

And it's so fascinating to be in an ambulance with a paramedic or an EMT. I highly recommend it to anyone that's building solutions for vulnerable communities. But you're in the ambulance, most of your time is spent waiting for the next call. And when the next call comes in, it's often not a medical emergency.
