S9 Bonus: The Dorm Room to $20M Supply Chain Shift: Overthrowing Distribution Dinosaurs and Automating Healthcare Procurement with Luká Yancopoulos, Co-Founder & CEO of Grapevine

Mar 21, 2024 · Season 9 · 25 min

Commoditizing the purchase of medical supplies

Luka Yancopoulos lives in New York City, and believes whole heartedly in doing well by doing good. He grew up in the early 2000's, where the focal point was environmentalism and doing good in the world. He is an active botanist, and though there isn't much "soil to toil" in NYC, he spends his weekends filling the planter boxes with plants, on his block and around the neighborhood.

For Luka, COVID caused immediate awareness of supply chain issues. He and his buddies kicked over stones around these problems, specifically into the medical supply chain, and discovered a whole list of things needing to be addressed to support medical professionals in their buying.

This is the creation story of Grapevine.
