Corporate marketmedicalretailCurated record

Queue builds what it calls the first fully autonomous robotic pharmacy: a self-contained machine that takes sealed wholesale pill bottles in one end and outputs filled, machine-verified prescription vials without an on-site pharmacist. The system fills a 60-pill vial every 30 seconds and supports about 280 of the most-prescribed US medications, with claimed dispensing costs up to 96% below traditional pharmacy operations. Founded by serial entrepreneur Nick Desai (ex-Heal) and Josh Liu (ex-Tesla, Waymo, Zipline); emerged from stealth in June 2026 with $18.6M total raised and a working prototype deployed for early commercial validation with an unnamed national pharmacy chain.
