About SIRUM

SIRUM is reimagining the future of US healthcare by connecting people with surplus medications at an affordable cost.  Our goal is to leverage the ~$11B of surplus that goes to waste every year to improve health equity for the 50M adults in the US who can't afford their prescriptions. Families' health comes first and everyone deserves the medications they need to stay healthy. We deliver on this promise by ensuring medicine prices are low, stable, and transparent!

SIRUM is a fast-growing, non-profit, for-impact startup at the intersection of health tech + social enterprise. Founded at Stanford University and backed by Y Combinator, our platform moves~$1M worth of medications every week, sourced from hundreds of medicine donors across dozens of states. Join us in building a national solution to the drug pricing epidemic that has been featured on The TED Mainstage, The New York Times, andForbes.
