What is your company working on right now? Product development — adding customer-requested features, integrations with wholesalers and pharmacy management systems. Preparing marketing campaigns and outreach efforts to grow our customer base, as well as through strategic relationships with pharmacy associations. We are actively raising capital from Angel investors with SaaS-based experience in health care to support our scaling efforts.

What’s on the horizon for your company in 2023? Capturing additional independent pharmacy market share.

Why grow your company in/from Kentucky (or Southern Indiana, if applicable)? Kentucky is home to my family. We moved here in 2002. I graduated high school from Boyle County High School. Three of my siblings graduated from the University of Kentucky and one from the Gatton Academy. Today, my wife is a third-year medical student at the University of Louisville. Yeah, this is home for us.

Kentucky, not traditionally known as a technology-startup state, is going through a major transformation to change this narrative. Throughout the state, individuals are working hard to build an ecosystem to support startups from various industries — especially technology.
