Telehealth startup Hims Inc. announced plans to go public by merging with a blank-check SPAC company Oaktree Acquisition Corp. in a deal valuing the company at $1.6 billion. Hims ($OAC) is very interesting if you believe telemedicine deregulation will continue, and “patients” will be able to buy prescription or healthcare products online. Hims (and Hers) has excellent branding, experience, and customer satisfaction. After starting with products that treat hair loss and ED, its now launching products and services that treat anxiety/depression, dermatology, and primary care, with possible expansion into the sleep, fertility, diabetes, and cholesterol markets. Hims expects a 2020 revenue of $138 million, from over 250,000 subscriptions, 91 percent of which are recurring. And they expect revenues to grow 30 percent in the future. It also has very high gross margins of 71 percent (!!). Hims is losing money because of spending on growth, but has strong unit economics, with customer lifetime values of ~$300 versus customer acquisition costs of $110 (~3x return 3-year return per customer acquired).

This month Andre and Latrell will showcase performances of our students from the fall recital. Students in Mr. Kelley’s Mrs. Picard’s and Mrs. Swartwout’s classes will share their experience sampling some French cuisine, because France was the country of the month. Ms. Honse and her classes will share information with us about financial literacy and how to safely use an ATM machine. Perseus will tell us about the annual holiday party hosted by the Columbus Northern lions club. Some of our students had the opportunity to go to the Ocalicon conference and Andre will interview Andy Leach from Hims-Inc and talk about assistive technology for the visually impaired. Anka and Krazimir traveled to the United States from Romania and Bulgaria. While they were here, we talked with them about technology used for travel for people who are blind and visually impaired in Europe. Mr. Kelley got hungry one afternoon and revisited Hot-Diggety-Dog and Mrs. Z and her class gave us an update on how this new endeavor is really taking off. Our alumnus this month is our own Mrs. Wagner. Mrs. Brewer-Wood’s health classes focused on the importance of reading and listening to stories. Jason takes us to an elementary classroom and we will hear a sample of a short story. Andre speaks with Mr. Grim about goalball, graphics and the vending program at OSSB.
