Exclusive: Inside Fortell (@fortellresearch) The $740M startup that had to waitlist billionaires and celebrities for its AI hearing aid. Their custom chip helps you "hear where you look", distinguishing voices in noisy environments - which solved a problem no hearing aid had cracked in 70 years. Now they're expanding across America to start reaching the 1.5 billion people globally who need it. Founded by four wildly impressive co-founders. Plus, backed from top VC's led by @JoshuaKushner @AntonioGracias @traestephens @wolfejosh @GavinSBaker @patrick_oshag @RobertIger @jaltma @aplusk @hbarra + more. We flew to New York, toured their factory, and tried it ourselves. To date, this is our proudest episode, truly technology at it's best.

Exclusive: Inside $3.8B @chaidiscovery After leaving OpenAI & Stripe, co-founders Josh Meier (@joshim5) and Jack Dent (@jackdent) built a pioneering AI drug design model called Chai-1. Now? Their models are used by giants like Eli Lilly, Pfizer and Novartis. Their models design antibodies in hours, not years - with atomic-level accuracy confirmed in the lab. If they're right, we're closer than ever to curing complex diseases. We went to San Francisco to find out. They've raised $600M + from @saranormous @lachygroom @FEhrsam @ThriveCapital @sequoia @generalcatalyst @OpenAI @MenloVentures @IndexVentures @kleinerperkins + more. 0:00 AI drug design - how is it possible? 1:32 Josh: Leaving OpenAI for biology 2:34 90% of drugs used to fail 3:24 An outside scientist's honest take 4:40 Chai-3: Drug design in hours not years 5:30 Why Eli Lilly bet on Chai 6:20 When will this reach patients? 8:56 A hopeful future: Alzheimer's & aging
