Grapevine Technologies
Grapevine Technologies is a healthcare procurement software company that acts as an intelligent purchasing agent for medical buyers. Founded in 2021 out of the University of Pennsylvania by Luka Yancopoulos and William Danon, Grapevine grew out of their pandemic-era supply venture and now helps specialty practices and physician groups compare vendors, cut ordering time, and reduce medical supply spend - in some categories by more than 50%.
Sortly
Sortly is a cloud-based, visual inventory and asset-tracking platform that lets businesses photograph, QR-code, and organize their stuff into searchable folders on any device. Built for the non-warehouse crowd - construction crews, medical offices, electricians, interior designers, schools, and retailers - it swaps clipboards and spreadsheets for a mobile app with barcode scanning, custom fields, low-stock alerts, and offline access. Founded in 2012 by Dhanush Balachandran and bootstrapped to profitability, Sortly now tracks millions of items for well over 15,000 paying businesses.
Verse Medical
Verse Medical is a New York-based healthtech company building the software infrastructure for in-home healthcare, starting with durable medical equipment (DME) and supplies. Its platform helps hospitals, payors, and care teams order and coordinate equipment like catheters, wound dressings, and diabetes supplies - replacing a fax-and-phone-call process with real-time insurance verification, medical-record-level documentation checks, and centralized order tracking. Founded in 2018 by Dhaivat Pandya out of Y Combinator, Verse today works with many of the largest U.S. health systems and is backed by investors including SignalFire, Sapphire Ventures, General Catalyst, and Abstract Ventures.
Dhaivat Pandya
Dhaivat Pandya is the founder and CEO of Verse Medical, a New York healthtech company building software to modernize the $50B-plus world of in-home medical supplies, an industry still run largely on fax machines. A Harvard computer science and statistics graduate and a longtime open-source builder and technical writer, he came up through quantitative research at Two Sigma and Kensho and core engineering at Apollo GraphQL before starting the company in 2018 through Y Combinator's Summer 2018 batch. Verse Medical pivoted from an earlier consumer venture (JetLenses) into a software-driven medical supplier and has grown to roughly 160-200 employees, backed by investors including Y Combinator, Abstract Ventures, Josh Buckley, and Paul Graham.
Luká Yancopoulos
Luká Yancopoulos is the co-founder and CEO of Grapevine Technologies, a software company that acts as an intelligent purchasing agent for healthcare buyers - scanning vendors, prices, and supply routes in real time to cut what hospitals and clinics spend on medical supplies. A University of Pennsylvania VIPER dual-degree graduate in bioengineering and environmental studies, he pivoted from renewable-energy research to pandemic logistics in 2020, founding Pandemic Relief Supply, which delivered roughly $20 million in PPE to frontline workers. Grapevine grew out of that work, won the 2022 President's Innovation Prize, and raised about $2 million in early funding. His aim is blunt: drop the average national medical-supply spend by half, and ultimately make shopping for supplies unnecessary.
