Opportunity

Market: Specialty pharmaceuticals treat complex health conditions and constitute about 50% of the $400B U.S. prescription medication spend. Despite their therapeutic potential, patients often face substantial obstacles to therapy access, affordability, and adherence.

Our approach: While these challenges have been traditionally addressed through call-center based ‘hub’ services, Phil has developed a next-generation suite of software tools to streamline and simplify this complex, distributed workflow spanning patients, prescribers, pharmacies, insurers, and manufacturers. Often described as ‘Shopify for Pharma’, Phil offers a “channel-in-a-box” platform for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Impact to customers: The Phil platform drives efficiencies that result in higher adherence, affordability and coverage, at a fraction of the cost of conventional call-center based approaches. Consequently, our clients, Pharma manufacturers, are able to launch new products and attain profitability in less than half the usual lead time.

Culture

• We’re a mission-driven organization: we exist to continually improve patient outcomes, and to improve connectivity between patients, prescribers, manufacturers and payors. We care for our patients, and for one another.
• We are a low ego, high accountability, high respect culture: we assume that our employees have meaningful lives outside work and respect boundaries (we rarely work on weekends)
• We communicate prolifically, professionally and respectfully to ensure we understand each other well and get on the same page quickly
• A distributed work environment has been part of our DNA well before the pandemic. Our approach is to offer the flexibility that employees need to do their best work while balancing their personal lives. Our hybrid approach allows for this balance while creating opportunities to interact in-person to build true human connection.
