Teladoc Health, Inc (TDOC) CEO Jason Gorevic: “Virtual healthcare is becoming mainstream.”
“Requests from new potential clients are increasing as the outbreak of COVID-19 has highlighted the value of access to a comprehensive virtual healthcare solution. During the first quarter alone, we onboarded over 6 million new paid members in the U.S. across government and commercial populations."
“This new user growth will have a lasting effect on utilization, since member satisfaction levels are extremely strong and our experience shows that when members use our service once they are much more likely to use it again….This significant increase in activation is particularly important to us as it feeds into the flywheel dynamic that is at the core of our member engagement efforts. Once an individual actively registers with us, it creates opportunities for our engagement team to reach that member and build a relationship. These engagement opportunities serve as the growth engine that drives visit growth and utilization within our populations.”
“We expect volumes to settle in the second half of the year at a permanently higher level of utilization than pre-COVID levels as we benefit from increased consumer awareness and the impact of our engagement engine applied to newly activated and onboarded members.”

Slack Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: WORK) CEO Stewart Butterfield: "Impact of COVID is of generational magnitude - remote work will be much bigger part of the working world moving forward."
“The all at once shift to work from home concentrated multiple quarters of Slack adoption into a few weeks. Tens of thousands of new organizations and millions of new users adopted Slack, most of them trying Slack for the first time on our free plan.”
“As I talk to other CEOs, talk to our customers, review survey data and just follow the news, it's clear to me that remote work will be a much bigger part of the working world moving forward. Business leaders everywhere are beginning to realize the potential, financial, talent and employee well-being benefits of offering a more fluid work environment, lending offices and remote work.”
“Q1 was historic in its impact, both for Slack and for the world. We believe very strongly the impacts that the COVID crisis will have on the way we work are of generational magnitude and are just beginning to be felt. It's too soon to understand the impact with any precision, but it reinforces our conviction around this business and our long-term trajectory.”
