Geographic arbitrage makes telemedicine therapy half the price

Shaan explains how Daybreak-style teletherapy charges about half of in-person rates: therapists need no office, and there's geographic arbitrage where a therapist in a low-cost area like Arizona serves a high-cost client in New York.

“there's like a geographic arbitrage. The therapists live in low-cost areas and then they serve clients in sort of all over, all around the world. So you get this like, you know, if you're in New York City, you have to pay New York City prices. But right now with this digital thing, with this telemedicine thing, you know, your person might be in Arizona serving you in New York or whatever.”
