this should work well for chronic conditions. I am in a group of ppl with chronic condition and my entire family has chronic conditions. I can predict with 99% accuracy the doctors prescriptions and tests. There are only certain number of medication and certain number of things you can do for each stage and its all driven by blood tests.

Why did you pick this name? Vela is a popular hinglish slang.

Vella" (वेल्ला) is a North Indian/Delhi slang term for someone who is lazy, jobless, or has nothing productive to do (an idler or couch potato). Often used in Hinglish, it describes a person wasting time, similar to the word "loser" or someone with no work.

You can enter the program and if you don't like it you can always drop out and join slightly stable(Series B / Series C) startup. You will have amazing network. Startups by very definition in failure mode until they crack PM fit, especially the early stage one.

typical bonuses in bay area are percentage of salaries. Varies between 10% to 25% of your base. This looks like a retention grant which is also fairly common.

Incorrect. You don't have to be rich. I am currently being evaluated for deceased donor transplant outside my home state of California. You just have to register at another center and you are allowed to multi list. Some states have residency requirements but lot of them do not.

The average lifespan of deceased donor kidney is 10 to 15 years and for live donor is around 15 to 20 years. People normally get multiple transplants throughout their lives.

My kidneys are failing as well. I am currently being evaluated to be on transplant list. Artificial kidney is an exciting development. It wont replace the need for transplant but will definitely improve quality of life for people on dialysis.
