Forward is no more. They burned through hundreds of millions of dollars to chase terrible concepts of automation.
“So we just said, let’s build health care in the same way that you would build a Tesla….” Citing conversations with 11 former employees, Business Insider wrote that Forward was burning through its cash and had cut costs by laying off workers and removing services from its clinics. Reportedly, the company also was struggling to set up more CarePod kiosks, which four employees said cost more than $1 million each, and the kiosks that were open occasionally trapped patients inside.
The big difference from Tesla, of course, is that this company didn’t kill anyone let alone burn them to death after being trapped inside.
