LEX is a new way to invest in real estate. LEX turns individual buildings into public stocks. Any US investor can open a LEX account, browse opportunities in various asset classes such as multifamily and office buildings, and buy shares of individual buildings. As a shareholder, investors earn income when owners pay dividends and can trade their shares on our public market without lockups or hold periods. Each building on LEX has a ticker symbol and stock chart.

We’ve built:

- A retail brokerage app to trade shares of real estate

- A dealflow operation to take buildings public

- An SEC-filed ATS on which those shares can trade

We're a small company (~ 30 people, 10 engineers) with some great backers working to unlock real estate for the masses.

Hacking the startup job search at its finest.

As someone whose inbox has been on the receiving end of some funding announcements recently, this crunchbase method is definitely used more outside of job searching: recruiters, sales folks, etc, all love to jump on a funding announcement.

Wish more engineers, designers and product people used this approach - nothing better than an inbound candidate who gives a shit and can growth hack.

Another way to look at it: ~700,000 people under 65 die in the US each year.
I can't find hospitalizations broken out by underlying illnesses, but if among each age bracket we assume the % of deaths associated with underlying illness holds as the % of hospitalizations associated with underlying illness, then we get a "healthy under 65" Hospitalization Rate of 0.3% to 0.5%.

Under 65:

7.4M people

1.55M infected

26,000 hospitalizations

4,548 "healthy" hospitalizations (16% of deaths under 65 have no comorbidities. Using same rate here).

800k-1.2M infected w/o comorbidities depending on "healthy rate"

4,548 / 1M = 0.45%

Assume you mean who "do" have comorbidities?
NYC's data defines underlying illness as "disease, asthma, heart disease, a weakened immune system, obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and cancer."

As I point out in the thread, even estimating 50% of people under 65 have an underlying illness (lets say thats 25% under 17, 50% 18-44, and 75% in 45-64 to roughly get us there) moves the "Under 65 healthy IFR" only up to 0.09%.

In the second, the var myFunction gets hoisted to the top but not the function definition, which is why calling it produces an error. In the first, the whole function gets hoisted to the top.
