"5. You can feel mediocrity before you can measure it. When I read Duolingos shareholder letters I felt it instantly. A company trying to expand human potential. When I read Upstarts letters I felt nothing. Just corporate syntax and management clichs"

"6. Leadership tells you everything. Alex Karp references C.S. Lewis and Western civilization. Jeff Bezos frames Amazon as a historical project. Luis von Ahn of Duolingo talks about democratizing education for the planet. Upstarts CEO Talks about back-testing volatility"

"7. The culture test: artists vs. soldiers. Soldiers execute. Artists invent. Most suffocate their artists. Amazon celebrated AWS when it hit just $1M in revenue - Bezos understood the principle. Small ugly ideas grow into world-changing ones. Upstart has no such nursery"

"8. You can tell when a company is soulless. Even the language of the 2024 investor letter feels hollow: Operational refinement. Macro calibration. Back-tested resilience. Contrast that with Palantirs line: We are building the ontology for Western civilization"

"9. Exceptional companies attract exceptional people. People join Palantir because they want to defend the West. Upstart Its hard to imagine a top engineer saying I want to optimize loan origination. You dont attract world-class talent with a boring mission"

"7 Exceptional People Exceptional Outcomes Nader Kabbani (20 years at Amazon) joined to build Hims. Mo Elshenawy left Cruise and Amazon to run engineering. World-class leaders do not leave trillion-dollar incumbents for mediocre missions"

"8 Experimentation as a System Bezos institutionalized experimentation. Hims does the same. Rapid-fire product tests. Ruthless iteration. Every day is Day X - execute and learn quickly then build and perfect later. That mindset is why Palantir birthed AIP"

"Why This Matters The U.S. healthcare system is a $X trillion maze. If Hims can digitize even X % of it with Amazon-like retention and margins the upside is staggering. Recurring subscriptions. Global scalability. This is not a telehealth stock"

"Where Wall Street Gets It Wrong Analysts see a D2C brand. Investors with vision see a platform organism. You model it by studying cultural DNA - hiring incentives structure mission. And by that measure Hims & Hers is one of the strongest organisms"

"My View Going Forward I believe $HIMS will dominate the next decade. Not because of any single product but because it has built the organizational metabolism to keep producing miracles. The market will eventually recognize what is already obvious"

"Final Thought In the long run the market is a mirror for culture. Amazon encoded Day X in 1997. Hims & Hers is encoding it now. I believe Andrew Dudum may be the closest analogue to Jeff Bezos of his generation"

"2 Its Always Day X Just as Bezos said in 1997 Its still Day X Dudum frames Hims as a company at the beginning of a decades-long transformation.
