You know the answer was obvious and I didn’t think to submit this to ycombinator since the idea is basically you’re front running a compounding pharmacies. This is combining a compounding pharmacy and an MSO.
At the same time, nothing is stopping you from hiring a fractional medical director and doctors alongside NP. I ran the numbers and 50k is is all you need to get a service agreement with a compounding pharmacy, back office tasks, incorporation, social media marketing policy to essentially drop ship your product as you use off the shelf products for charting and then begin expanding state coverage.
The July Medicare glp1 coverage also makes this most opportune.
Biggest barrier I thought was / is the credit card processing. You need to carry a certification for that.
HIPAA not an issue, BAA with most orgs that offer a saas products.
So damn. The glue isn’t really hard. Really didn’t think this would qualify as an ycombinator mvp. But here I am used
To pitch decks promising exponential growth of subscription for cloud services.
As for personalized peptides in general, are you going to be marketing non FDA approved ones?
Or just stick with what’s already popular, generic wegovy, zepbound, etc. the market seems highly thin as a new MSO appears everyday using smartiq alongside med spas that offer more questionable inpatient services.
While manufacturing controls supply chain / logistics, the external pressure from every compounding pharmacist scaling into peptides now makes me wonder the longevity abo it this. You can literally pop on subreddits and see the flavor of the month telemedicine practice offer teaser rates of $99 for 60mg/month tirezepatide.
Oh and not forgetting the elephant in the room, gray market and china manufacturing which allows anyone with a telegram account to directly order whatever chemical name they read with no doctor oversight. It’s what, sub $1/mg now from the major vendors for tirezepatide?
Hey, I love the idea and the fully integrated approach! The feedback loop sounds great, and overall far better than the pretty generic companies I've dealt with for GLP before.
I've led building an EHR totally from scratch at one company and currently advising another as they build their EHR, both totally integrated approaches in industries where you usually have lots of disconnected care (adolescent serious mental illness and ABA/autism care). The state-by-state regulatory challenges are very real! If you want to chat, my email is in my profile!
Looks interesting. What's your plan on the legal front? Bet the company on the compounding lawsuits breaking in your favor, or do you have a backup plan?
BTW: when you say you manufacture the drugs, I assume that means you're buying from an API supplier, but do you actually mean you're synthesizing it yourself?
Please have a human rewrite your site copy. Literally every second sentence is a Claudish rhetorical contrastive. Maybe shallow/unfair, but especially when dealing with something medical I’d love to know that it’s not slop all the way down.
Fair criticism. It is AI slop all the way down. The only thing we focused on was the clinical aspects of the onboarding and the technical ability to be able to legally write a prescription and make and ship drugs, which was very complicated. We were able to accomplish this in less than 10 weeks. But I have not had time to go through all the marketing, and I apologize.

Your website sucks though. We can tell you vibe coded it quickly and didn't put much thought into it.
