BlinkRx
BlinkRx is the enterprise platform of New York-based Blink Health, founded by brothers Geoffrey and Matthew Chaiken. Billed as a 'pharma-to-patient cloud,' it lets pharmaceutical manufacturers run the entire prescription journey - pricing, prior authorization, copay assistance, fulfillment, free home delivery, and adherence support - on a single system. Its consumer side offers cash-pay discounts and an online pharmacy. The company says it supports millions of patients across all 50 states and has raised hundreds of millions in venture funding.
Geoffrey Chaiken
Geoffrey Chaiken is the co-founder and CEO of BlinkRx (Blink Health), a New York-based digital health company rebuilding how prescription drugs get priced, paid for, and delivered. The son and grandson of physicians, he gave up a career in medicine to attack what he calls the real bottleneck in healthcare - not discovering new cures, but getting existing ones into patients' hands at a fair price. With his younger brother Matthew, he has raised more than half a billion dollars to digitize both the patient front end and the pharmaceutical industry's back end, partnering with drug makers and tens of thousands of pharmacies to strip middlemen out of the medication supply chain.

Gavin Cotter
Gavin Cotter is the founder and CEO of Koala Health, a Boston-based digital pet pharmacy that delivers chronic pet medications through a mobile-first platform built to work directly with pet parents and their veterinarians. An MIT-trained mechanical engineer turned operations leader, he cut his teeth scaling PillPack's pharmacy operations before Amazon acquired it, then reassembled a core PillPack crew in 2021 to do for animals what PillPack did for people: make managing medications boring, easy, and reliable. Koala has since expanded to all 50 states and raised a $20M Series B led by Valspring Capital in 2025.
