You seem to know a lot about this, and I was nodding along with a lot of your points as I was reading.

I was Stripe's first customer in 2010, so we solved the credit card processing issue :) it turns out that being in YC is good for more than just money.

You are right about HIPAA, everyone thinks this is much harder than it actually is, but GCP, OpenAI, Linq, everyone has given us a BAA.

We're definitely not trying to go after the market of people that are comfortable buying from Chinese suppliers and risking their health. When I built my mask factory, our masks were absolutely more expensive than Chinese masks, but what people were buying was a guarantee that it would meet certain filtration requirements. Some people are willing to pay for safety, but it's not important to everyone.

The only thing I really disagree with with you on is that this isn't a YC-scale company.

We are growing 56% compounded week -over-week, and I have every expectation we'll do $10 million this year, $100 million next.

We are making something that people are already buying and getting it to them in a safer, more cost-effective way.

Don’t newly produced meds require new FDA clearance/approval, with clinical testing and all the like? I mean how else can you prove that your new drug production is effective and causes no new harms
