About Okcapsule

Okcapsule operates as a B2B manufacturing-as-a-service platform, enabling businesses to provide personalized supplement packets to their customers. The company was established in 2019 by Dr. Andrew Brandeis, a naturopathic physician with over two decades of experience in primary medical care and health technology, and Noah Austin, who has an extensive background in software development. Dr. Brandeis's experience in his medical practice highlighted the operational difficulties for practitioners to offer customized supplement solutions, which directly informed the company's business model.

The firm's core offering is a white-labeled, end-to-end solution that encompasses technology, high-quality supplement products, and fulfillment services. This allows client companies, which range from small and medium-sized businesses and individual practitioners to larger direct-to-consumer wellness brands, to launch or scale their own branded personalized supplement lines without incurring the significant capital expenditure of setting up their own manufacturing facilities. Clients include names like Vitality RX, ELO Health, and Vitagene. Revenue is generated through this comprehensive service that integrates with client e-commerce platforms like Shopify via API and Zapier, facilitating recurring revenue streams for them. Okcapsule handles the on-demand production, packaging, and drop shipping from its cGMP certified facility in Reno, Nevada.

The platform features a 'compliance-on-demand' system to verify FDA compliance for every order and uses machine vision to ensure the accuracy of each packet's contents. The product line consists of over 60 clinically-backed and ethically sourced supplements. A key selling point is the use of eco-friendly, compostable packaging that significantly reduces plastic waste compared to traditional supplement bottles. In March 2022, Okcapsule secured $9.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Mucker Capital and Next Ventures, with participation from DSM Venturing and Findaway Adventures, to support its scaling efforts.
