- Member Acquisition
- In October we had 1,683 new membership purchases (-18.7% m/m), below our goal for the month.

- Market Awareness
- Our top three podcast partners for the month were David Sinclair, Andrew Huberman, and Tim Ferriss who collectively drove 9.1% of member signups in October

- We’re preparing to fulfill orders under our IRB without the need for a backup prescription. This will meaningfully reduce fulfillment complexity and remove friction from our order flow.
- We saw meaningful improvements to order fulfillment, reducing order to delivery time to 5 days, down from a median of 8.

People & Team
Functional OKRs Launched
Extending our Company OKR initiative, we launched Functional OKRs for Q4. Structure has become increasingly helpful for maintaining alignment as team size and complexity continue to grow.
The functional OKRs are designed to maximize the likelihood of achieving our company objectives (retention, acquisition, member health) and to empower teams and individuals to be laser-focused on solving company-critical problems. As we continue to seek product market fit, Product is the top functional priority for Q4.
The collaborative process of defining Functional OKRs as a leadership team resulted in significant clarification of each function’s priorities and established how our leads can work together most effectively.
Functional OKRs will be updated quarterly and are tracked weekly through a traffic light dashboard.
