Hey guys,

We need to think about this as a hypothetical assuming we are owners of the
company via an investment.  Therefore, without any regulatory restrictions,
what could/would we do to help our company be successful in NYS.  We'd just
need to layout the approach that we'd take on how we'd help try and get to a
satisfactory result for this particular use case.  We would not have to do
anything at this point.

Best,

Neil

Yes, unfortunately, Hunter, Rob and I are all in the air for much of the day
today.   That said, my initial thoughts are that this would be a heavy lift
for us.  I did a quick google search on Dr. Shah there were no immediate
avenues to him that became apparent based on his bio and prior experience.
I also don't think any of us have any expertise in the NY approval process
or know whether getting in front of him would even be helpful.  I think we'd
need to make a few phone calls and see what we can learn about this.   That
said, let us think more about it and John maybe I can call you a little
later this afternoon between flights.

Hi All,

Founder's Fund completed its $12mm investment in Counsyl today.

I had a call with Counsyl management this evening and they asked if we could
be helpful with regulatory channels in NY. Specifically, their lab and test
have been approved in 49 states at this point and their lab has been
approved by the State of New York, however the test itself is still in in
the approval process in NY. NY and CA are two states which require separate
lab approval and individual test approval. Counsyl has been told that NY's
genetic test approval timing is currently as long as 12 months given current
backlog. Specifically, they want us to help them with a roadmap for who we
would help them contact at the NY State government level that could help
them with this process. One idea discussed, which may or may not be the
right one, would be to see if we can get them in front of or on a call with
Dr. Nirav Shah, a Governor Cuomo appointee, who is the Commissioner for the
NY State Sept of Health. The message would be that Counyl's test is the
highest standard of care for expecting parents and it is currently approved
in 49 states but not New York.

I'd appreciate it if we could have a call to discuss. They are looking for
high level feedback, and potentially a call with us on this subject, by
Monday. 

Thanks,

John
