What Sanvivo does

Sanvivo builds a multisided platform to enable customers to order medications, get pharmaceutical advice, and book health services at local pharmacies in Europe. Just like Shopify for pharmacies. Sanvivo gives pharmacies software to take, fill and schedule delivery for online orders. We also bring instant demand through integrations with 3rd party consumer delivery companies. Almost all pharmacies in Europe are, by law, local 1-person businesses. And they are not ready for online orders. Regulatory changes require pharmacies to take and fill e-prescriptions (roll-out Jan-23), but many have no way to do this online today. Sanvivo uses technology to give local pharmacies digital superpowers, enabling them to combine fast supply and high-quality consultation with state of the are e-commerce solutions.

Shopify for pharmacies in Europe

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a multisided platform that lets local pharmacies take online orders, fill e-prescriptions, schedule deliveries, and offer pharmaceutical advice and health services. Our software integrates with third-party delivery providers to bring immediate demand. Essentially, we give small European pharmacies an online store and logistics tools to comply with new regulations and serve customers digitally.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. After YC, the company will remain based in Munich.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Munich is where we and our team are based, and it's centrally located in Europe where most of our pharmacy customers operate. Staying here keeps us close to the market and regulatory environment we're targeting.

Is this the real Sanvivo YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Sanvivo's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Sanvivo would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
