Product Hunt: how to uncover revolutionary startups, and what gaming can teach you about the future of business
Dear friends,In JC’s Newsletter, I share the articles, documentaries, and books that I enjoyed the most in the last week, with some comments on how we relate to them at Alan. I do not endorse all the articles I share, they are up for debate. I’m doing it because a) I love reading, it is the way that I get most of my ideas, b) I’m already sharing those ideas with my team, and c) I would love to get your perspective on those. If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share about it on social networks! 💡Must-read👉Josh Buckley (CEO of Product Hunt) - Identifying Legendary Start-ups (Join Colossus)
➡️ I love spending time understanding gaming in the East. Do you have anything I should know about?
➡️ I’m a big fan of the variable reward notion (the book Hooked from Nir Eyal is good about it). It is interesting to think about how to apply it to our product at different levels (sometimes the reward can just be a good animation in the UI).
➡️ How can we apply those 3 layers? It is very aligned with the super-app vision we have pushed.
➡️ How can we provide meaning?
➡️ How do we make people that love our product have an opportunity to spend more (if they want to) for more services?
➡️ That is why increasing LTV per member with extra services is so important.
➡️ That is very, very important. It is something I’m pushing a lot at Alan: avoid “static” thinking and think about what we can do to change the future.
➡️ It is a really good point. What is the value we bring?
➡️ Should we build more integrations? Who would you like to see us integrate with?
➡️ Should we accelerate on opening to Developers? If you are a developer, would you like to build upon Alan?
➡️ I love the play-to-earn opportunity (I’ll share more about it soon!). 🏯 Building a company👉Instagram's Evolution (Stratechery)
➡️ I do think we have that a lot when it comes to asking people what they want for healthcare & well-being, or HRs for low-tech employees.
➡️ That is why we should constantly try to test on the new platforms even if they are “not the target yet” “not big enough”. I remember pushing us to go on TikTok almost more than a year ago, and we didn’t test it. 🗞In the news📱Technology👉Threads by Chris Cantino (PingThread)
🏥 Healthcare👉 SoftBank Vision Fund 2 Backs Cerebral at $4.8 Billion Valuation (Bloomberg)
➡️ a LOT of physicians, but not that many patients.
➡️ Being really fast makes a difference.
➡️ Interesting that they did get a grant on the topic. 👉How Health Data Gets Sold: Moving From Third-Party to First-Party (out of Pocket)
➡️ Should we dig deeper? Understand if it exists in Europe? I don’t think it does. On our side, we will never sell the data.
👉 Vital Signs: Babylon Health Breakdown (Vital Signs)
➡️ High number of patients but low number of interactions in % of patients.
➡️ Good objective to be the solution for countries!
➡️ Did you test the different solutions?
➡️ Quite an impressive number at their scale. I think it is why we should not limit ourselves and aim at having crazy growth even at scale.
➡️ Interesting benchmarks.
➡️ I really like the idea they pushed for a peer review study.
➡️ They now own clinics they have purchased.
➡️ Babylon has done some white labeling of its tech, but it did not prove to be a strong success in terms of revenue. It’s already over! Please share JC’s Newsletter with your friends, and subscribe👇 Let’s talk about this together on LinkedIn or on Twitter. Have a good week!
