> The company’s burn rate now stands at $404M.

After clicking the link the 404 number is clearly the total amount of money raised, not a burn rate:

I'm thinking don't take this article or writer seriously.

    I used to use substack as a weak signal for quality, but still a signal. As of late, I've seen a bunch of substack articles by different authors posted here that don't pass the weakest of scrutiny. I don't know how you even make an error as simple as this.

    The press release he linked to couldn't be more clear as to what the $404m number was in regards to. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251103432446/en/Hip...

    Another quote from the article:

    > What’s worse, more than 80% of AI-guided calls, Hippocratic’s main product, come from a single client—likely another one of Munjal’s or Hemant’s buddies. The company’s burn rate now stands at $404M.

    "likely another one of Munjal’s or Hemant’s buddies"? wtf, is it, or is it not? what kind of analysis is this?

    Take it with a grain of salt but 404 [HTTP error code] is not the best number to raise money.
