About Capsule

Capsule is rebuilding the pharmacy experience to be smarter, friendlier, and faster. For over a decade, we have offered free same-day home delivery. Today, we operate nationally and have raised over $500M from premier healthcare and tech investors.

To eliminate prescription friction, our ClearRx product integrates directly with specialty practices' EMR systems. We handle insurance benefit checks, prior authorizations, patient communications, and delivery on their behalf.

AI powers our scale. We build end-to-end AI agents for prescription workflows, backed by human judgment where needed. Our engineers leverage AI coding tools, partner closely with business teams, and directly impact patient and provider care.
