In his Quarterly Review for Q2, @GeneralCatalyst CEO @htaneja writes that the quarter was largely about scale and concentration of power and access, with three deals — @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, and xAI — drawing around two-thirds of all AI funding.  And that’s why, he argues, we need a counter-move to build toward greater access to spread the benefits wider.  In healthcare, that’s going to require more public-private collaboration. “No government can transform healthcare alone, and no technologist or health system can do it alone either,” writes Taneja. “Building an affordable, accessible system takes all of us. And the stakes reach well past medicine. A health system is the largest employer in most American towns, the anchor of its local economy as much as its care. Get this right, and you deliver three things at once: better health, lower cost, and the jobs with agency that a community needs.” I couldn’t agree more. And given that we spend one-third of our lives at work, the workplace can be a critical part of that collaboration to transform healthcare. You can read it in full here:

Founders gathered at the iconic Skywalker Ranch for our inaugural Founders Day: Riunione della Famiglia. @htaneja sat down with @patrickc for a fireside chat on the early days of @stripe and building an enduring company. @FareedZakaria unpacked the geopolitical moment over lunch. In the afternoon, founders traded lessons with one another, from open vs. closed models to the post-PMF valley of death. Grateful to everyone who joined us.
