Everyone knows American healthcare is broken. It all boils down to bad incentives. Not many people are willing to go deep into the behemoth to fix it, but the Yuzu team is. We're talking about reading every line of CMS regulation and listening to Supreme Court dissents for breakfast. The biggest constraint isn’t innovation in care—it’s the infrastructure behind it. Yuzu is fixing this. I met Max Kauderer early last year and he was patient enough to educate me on the intricacies of American health insurance every time we met, prompting us at Chemistry to spend months going down the TPA rabbit hole and realizing that there is no other team this dedicated to the cause, and winning this much. The team has built a cult following in healthcare and if you ever get the pleasure of meeting Russell Pekala and Ryan Lee you'll understand. Thrilled to announce our latest Series A in Yuzu Health 🍋 co-leading with General Catalyst (Alex Tran), alongside Lachy Groom, Ali Partovi and Neo, Gaurav Ahuja and Timeless, and Anthropic's Anthology Fund, along with Mark Goldberg Kristina Shen Ethan Kurzweil More about our investment thesis below and check out us holding the bricks they're laying for a new foundation in healthcare 🧱
