Paywalled but does this concept also cover neurodivergent and neurodiverse #SiliconValley #VCs? Serious & respectful question re: #Musk #Thiel. #MentalHealth has been my #HealthTech founder focus +6 years and #WallStreet has b0rked it badly over the past 3 (many examples). Thx 🙏

Several serious ethical crises emerging at online therapy companies like Talkspace and BetterHelp are gaining mainstream attention. Consumer beware: there are credible allegations of fake reviews...

It's that day again...

This one goes out to *every* #healthcare worker, professional and manager on planet earth...
