About to head into Neko launch week. Keeps reminding me of Spotify’s US launch 15 years ago. The product is different. The feeling in my stomach is not!

Today we're announcing that @Neko has raised a $700M Series C. @eldsjal and I started the company with the belief that the solution to the trickiest problems in healthcare won't come from scaling the existing system. Medicine has spent centuries getting good at treating

I’ve never shared this publicly before, but here goes: 2.5 yrs ago, I was diagnosed with one of the most painful, life-changing diseases: rheumatoid arthritis The surprising part? I beat it and recovered only when I stopped following my doctors’ advice. Here’s my story 👇

Stripe Press sold 1000 books/day last year. That’s about $25k/day or over $9M/year off of 16 books! Incredible work and shows what you can do when high quality products meets distribution...

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

Winning the @NobelPrize is the honour of a lifetime and the realisation of a lifelong dream - it still hasn’t really sunk in yet. With AlphaFold2 we cracked the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction: predicting the 3D structure of a protein purely from its amino acid sequence. Proteins are the building blocks of life, and knowing the structure of a protein is crucial for understanding the function it performs. We then folded all 200 million proteins known to science and made those structures freely available for anyone in the world to use, with the help of our wonderful collaborators at @emblebi. Over 2 million researchers have already used AlphaFold2 and its predictions to advance a huge range of important work - everything from enzyme design, to disease understanding, to drug discovery. But this is only the beginning. Over the next few years AI will help us make great strides towards developing new and more effective therapies for today's most prevalent diseases, and the fantastic team at @IsomorphicLabs are making rapid progress on this mission. I can’t think of a more important or beneficial use of AI. Then of course there is advancing AGI itself, the original and enduring goal, and the vision behind the founding of DeepMind nearly 15 years ago. If AI is built safely and responsibly, I believe it will be one of the most transformative and beneficial technologies ever. I’ve always thought of AI as the ultimate tool to help us accelerate scientific discovery. Congratulations to John Jumper (and David Baker!), the amazing AlphaFold team, and all our incredible colleagues at @GoogleDeepMind and @Google that supported and encouraged us along the way - this award is for all of us! It’s been such an honour and privilege to work with all of you to advance the frontiers of AI and science, and there is so much more to come!

Neko Health London is officially open for business. Incredible to reflect on how far we've come, considering the idea almost didn't happen. Back in 2018 I reached out to @HNilsonne , who wasn't exactly eager to dive into healthcare 🤣 fortunately, he eventually changed his mind and @neko was born with our vision to help people stay healthy through preventative measures and early detection. Starting today, you can sign up on our website to get a scan at our new location in Marylebone. Can't wait to hear what you think! nekohealth.com/gb/en/scan
