So our chief scientific officer at Curative had, in his spare time, developed a COVID test.
Lockdowns had just started.
Everybody was starting to freak out.
There was basically nowhere to get a test.
In the hundreds of millions of dollars.
I think our peak day was 206,000 people tested in a single day.
And the company went from about 7 to 7,000 employees in those first nine months.
The total revenue ended up being about $5 billion.
over a three year period.
We did two and a half million vaccinations.
That was another service we did.
We also lost a ton of money on that.
That was a terrible business.
We're cutting about 80% of our SaaS spend this year.
One of our internal meetings, we have a slide of like, when are SaaS contracts due and whose job is it to tell them that we're not renewing this year?
How big do you think Anthropic will be?
I think it could be 10 trillion.
A thrill of winning.
Certainly during COVID with what some of what we built at Curative, I got kind of a taste for the speed at which you can move when everything is like is behind you and all the momentum is behind you.
And I've been chasing that ever since.
