Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York City, Capsule raised over $300 million in funding from investors including Thrive Capital and has built a model that treats the pharmacy as a healthcare touchpoint rather than a retail transaction.

About

PillPack (now Amazon Pharmacy) is Amazon's full-service online pharmacy providing prescription delivery, medication management, and pharmacy services to US customers — originally founded as PillPack in 2013 by TJ Parker and Elliott Cohen to solve medication adherence for patients on multiple prescriptions, then acquired by Amazon in 2018 for $1 billion. Amazon has since rebranded the full-service pharmacy to Amazon Pharmacy while maintaining the PillPack brand for the multi-medication pre-sorting service for customers taking 5+ daily medications.\n\nPillPack's distinctive original service pre-sorts medications by dose and time (individual packets labeled "Monday 8AM: Take these 3 pills"), eliminating the confusion of managing multiple prescription bottles for patients with complex medication regimens. This packaging format particularly serves elderly patients and chronic disease patients taking 5-15 medications daily. Amazon Pharmacy (the broader service) provides standard prescription delivery with Prime shipping, price transparency through Amazon's prescription discount program, and pharmacist consultations.\n\nIn 2025, Amazon Pharmacy operates as a significant disruptor in the $350 billion US prescription market, competing with CVS Health (the largest pharmacy chain), Walgreens, Express Scripts (mail-order PBM pharmacy), and new pharmacy entrants like Ro, Alto Pharmacy, and Capsule. Amazon's advantages are its logistics infrastructure (Prime 2-day/same-day delivery), price comparison transparency, and consumer trust for e-commerce transactions. The 2025 strategy focuses on expanding same-day prescription delivery in more cities, growing specialty pharmacy capabilities for high-cost biologic medications, and integrating pharmacy with Amazon's broader health ecosystem (One Medical primary care, Amazon HealthLake health records).
