What you likely need
You're a proven serial founder with a major exit under your belt and now building Eternal in the competitive health-tech space. Your YC pedigree and The Athletic's $550M acquisition give you exceptional credibility for fundraising, but Eternal is still early-stage and will need to demonstrate clinical outcomes and scalable unit economics to attract Series A capital. Leveraging your media and sports-community network from The Athletic could be a powerful distribution moat for Eternal's member acquisition.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingPrepare a Series A narrative anchored on Eternal's early member retention and health-outcome data — investors will want to see proof that proactive health platforms can reduce churn and command premium pricing.
- introsTap the YC alumni network for warm introductions to health-tech-focused investors such as those who backed other YC healthcare companies, using your Athletic exit as a credibility anchor.
- tacticalPartner with endurance sports communities, running clubs, and cycling groups — audiences you know intimately from The Athletic — to drive low-CAC member acquisition for Eternal.
- positioningPursue employer-sponsored benefit deals with companies whose workforces skew toward active, high-income professionals, since your LinkedIn posts already hint at this go-to-market angle.
- hiringHire a credentialed Chief Medical Officer or Medical Director to strengthen clinical credibility and regulatory positioning as Eternal scales its primary care offering across more cities.
- positioningPublish anonymized member health-outcome data or a white paper to establish Eternal as a thought leader in proactive athletic health and differentiate from concierge medicine competitors.
- wellbeingAs a founder who publicly champions longevity and athletic health, model the practices you preach — structured recovery, sleep tracking, and regular biomarker reviews — to sustain the energy needed for a second major company build.
