RxPost 💊

Opening Remarks

This week, I’ve been thinking about what happens when nearly all content is AI-generated. When every feed starts to look the same, the real question becomes: how does anything stand out?

The answer comes down to a few things: originality, taste, and perspective. In a world of infinite creation, consumers won’t reward output anymore. They’ll reward identity.

I’ll be publishing a piece on this soon and will share it on socials. Follow me to catch it. In the meantime, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what makes content truly stand out in the AI era. Now, onto this week’s feature:

Setting the Scene

• Every year, independent pharmacies, making up 36% of all U.S. locations, lose hundreds of thousands of dollars to expired inventory.

• To stay competitive with national chains, they must stock a broad range of medications, even those that rarely get filled.

• However, that breadth comes at a cost: drugs sit on shelves longer, cash gets tied up, and margins shrink, especially for smaller operators.

• This week’s company helps pharmacies offer more without wasting more, by cutting the surplus costs that strain their margins.

Due Diligence

WHAT WE LIKE

• Market Opportunity: Independent pharmacies spend $4.4M a year on medications, and with 3.5% expiring, about $150,000 per pharmacy, waste adds up quickly across more than 19,000 locations nationwide.

• Strategic Expansion Path: By starting with surplus management and expanding into clinical tools such as billing, accreditation, and training, RxPost is building an all-in-one system that helps independent pharmacies compete with national chains.

• Network Effects: Every new pharmacy strengthens the network by both saving money and adding inventory others can buy, fueling a virtuous cycle of cost savings, transparency, and liquidity.

POTENTIAL RISKS

• Workflow Integration: Pharmacies rely on varied and sometimes outdated systems, which could make seamless integration challenging in the early stages.

• Inventory Quality Assurance: Ensuring surplus medications are stored, handled, and verified correctly across sellers may introduce operational or legal challenges at scale.

• Scaling Sales: With thousands of independent pharmacies, customer acquisition may require highly localized, resource-intensive efforts to grow efficiently.

Founder Profile

• Amantha Bagdon, CEO: 20 years of pharmacy tech experience.

Comps

• InStockRx: A pharmacy-to-pharmacy marketplace enabling surplus stock listing and acquisition; less SaaS and inventory management capabilities than RxPost.

• MatchRX: Marketplace designed for independent pharmacies to buy/sell overstock non-controlled prescription drugs and access wholesale pricing, no SaaS or inventory management that RxPost provides.

• EzriRx: A pharmaceutical purchasing platform where pharmacies of any size can access tens of thousands of SKUs from a broad wholesaler network, limited marketplace focus for pharmacies needing rapid and one-off medications.
