January 28, 2025How Luka Yancopoulos is Helping Doctors Save Time
Never Been Promoted Podcast with Thomas Helfrich
Luka Yancopoulos, entrepreneur and co-founder of Grapevine, joins the podcast to discuss how his company is revolutionizing medical supply chains to empower healthcare providers. Luka shares his journey from a student at UPenn to building a multi-million-dollar business that eliminates inefficiencies in the healthcare industry.
About Luka Yancopoulos:
Luka Yancopoulos is the CEO and co-founder of Grapevine, a healthcare supply chain company focused on reducing costs and freeing medical providers from operational burdens. His mission is to help doctors focus on patient care instead of administrative distractions by optimizing supply chain management. With a background in biomedical engineering and environmental sciences, Luka is passionate about creating innovative solutions that improve healthcare systems.
In this episode, Thomas and Luka discuss:
The Problem with Medical Supply Chains
Luka breaks down how inefficiencies in the healthcare system lead to skyrocketing costs and limited access to essential medical supplies. He explains how Grapevine is addressing these challenges by streamlining procurement and reducing expenses for providers.
Entrepreneurial Lessons from the Pandemic
Luka shares how he and his team started by aggregating medical supply data during COVID-19, leading to unexpected demand from major healthcare distributors. He recounts how they scaled from a student project to generating over $20 million in revenue in just 18 months.
The Future of Healthcare Innovation
AI, automation, and better data-sharing could transform how healthcare operates. Luka discusses the challenges of implementing new technologies, the importance of making patient data more accessible, and how supply chain transparency can improve patient outcomes.

Scalability is the Biggest Challenge
