Raising $1,000,000 · Pre-Seed Confidential · May 2026

AI procurement agent for pharmacies.

Pharmacist-founded. Built on modern ERP infrastructure that already powers 1,029 pharmacies.

Pharmacies are the last-mile buyer in a $1.35T drug market — and they still buy by hand. Pharmacies on Fey save up to 15 hours a week and up to 30% in losses from manual buying and quote comparison.

Procurement intelligence for pharmacies.

Fey runs semi-autonomous procurement — flagging stockouts, sending RFQs, comparing supplier quotes, placing orders against an approved policy, and reconciling deliveries against the PO.

Systems of record tell pharmacies what left the shelf. Fey tells them what to order next. No standalone product owns this layer today.

Four advantages that can't be quickly bought or built.

i.
Built-in distribution

1,029 pharmacies live on Famasi infrastructure across 47+ cities. The integration exists, the trust exists, CAC approaches zero. The base is the launchpad, not the ceiling.

ii.
Connector-first architecture

RxSymphony connects Fey to 20+ pharmacy systems — Dispensary, TitanPMR, RxManager, PioneerRx, mSupply, even spreadsheets. The TAM is every pharmacy on every PMS, not just our own.

iii.
Pharmacist-founded domain moat

Cold-chain rules, controlled-substance constraints, formulary awareness, real-time shortage ingestion from FDA, ASHP, UK DHSC — built in as hard constraints by a licensed pharmacist with a decade of clinical experience. Not replicable with capital alone.

iv.
Already revenue-positive

Most procurement startups raise on theory. We've made $350K from 1,029 paying pharmacies at ~85% gross margin. Pharmacies pay for it today; the next dollar funds expansion, not invention.

We are not starting from zero.

All Fortune 500 and general-enterprise focused. Pharmaceutical procurement is uncontested — and it is the lane where regulatory complexity, controlled-substance rules, and formulary constraints make the domain itself the moat.

A 20-branch enterprise chain on the same model: $47,160 ACV ($38,160 subscription + $9,000 commission on $1.5M drug spend at 60% routing). Subscription scales with branches. Commission scales with autonomy. CareCapital origination becomes a third stream from the same data asset — no new sales motion.

From $1M raise to 10,000 pharmacies.
