Fount and the Body's Magical Future

from "Age of Miracles" · host Packy McCormick | Turpentine

Fount is running the Elon Musk Company Formula on health. The Starting Point is that healthcare is broken – we spend too much money on managing diseases versus preventing or curing them, and we rarely optimize for performance. We’re wasting human and financial capital. Today, Fount is in the “Sustainable Business Model” phase. Just like rich people have always been happy to spend on nice cars, they’ve also always been happy to spend on things that make them look, feel, and perform better. At $5,000 per month to start, Fount generates strong margins on real, and rapidly growing, revenue. Fount 1.0 funds the Company Innovation, directly and with VC dollars. Fount’s innovation is that it will be the first organization – company, government, or university – to figure out how to collect the experimental data needed to build predictive models. The company’s best estimate is that that will take 5,000 people. You can be one of them. That data will help Fount build predictive models of the brain and body that deliver real, measurable results to large numbers of people via software. If it pulls it off, the models will be the Match That Ignites an Industry. It will take a revolution in the way the industry approaches health and a wave of companies building powerful solutions on top of good data and models to get to that future. Many companies will build on top of Fount’s platform, others will compete. If Fount is able to successfully ignite the industry, it could mean achieving the Goal of putting a big chunk of the $4 trillion we’d normally spend on healthcare annually in the US alone to more productive uses, helping people reduce stress and tension and increase self-understanding, and giving people the tools to maximize their potential (while still enjoying life to the fullest). The Result of the Goal, if everything goes just right, will be to optimize people so that we can build an amazing future together. --------- To try Fount for yourself, you can skip the waitlist by signing up with the Not Boring link or apply for the Fount Not Boring Scholarship for a free year. --------- Thanks to our presenting sponsor of the audio verion of Not Boring: Masterworks.  Thanks to Composer for sponsoring the Not Boring newsletter: Invest with Composer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ageofmiracles/message
