Congrats to @AryoPatel and @tinahhong on the series A of Andera. The company has come a long way in a very short time. It was wonderful having Aryo back at Camp Pear to share his founding story. https://t.co/WXiiwo7vIE

From the moment @raymondhechen introduced me to @justoutquan I knew I had met a special founder. His clarity of thought around challenges people are facing and how to solve them were immediately apparent. I knew they were building something real and special at @tomo. https://t.co/sdljJsWsBp
