Best friends since the seventh grade.

We're Vishnu and Chrisvin. We met on our seventh-grade basketball team and have been best friends ever since. Fifteen years later, we walked on stage at Y Combinator to present Tepali — the company we started together.

Tepali started with a friend. One of our closest friends owns a med spa, and we watched him run it on ten to twelve disconnected pieces of software — one tool for booking, another for charting, another for payments, texting, marketing, inventory. None of them talked to each other, and the gaps between them were filled with his time: missed calls, after-hours charting, leads that went cold before anyone followed up.

We had each spent our careers inside that exact problem. Vishnu built vertical SaaS at Dripos (YC S20), the all-in-one point of sale used by thousands of coffee shops, where he saw how much a service business changes when its software finally works as one system. Chrisvin scaled operations at Rilla, a vertical AI company, where he saw what happens when AI is applied to high-ticket service industries.

So we built Tepali, the AI EMR for medspas and wellness clinics: front desk, charting, point of sale, and marketing in one system, with an AI employee that books new leads, charts every appointment, and brings past clients back. Owners get their evenings back; clients get a practice that responds in seconds, around the clock.

Tepali is built by Lotus Artificial Intelligence Corporation and backed by Y Combinator and the investors behind OpenAI, DoorDash, and Airbnb. Know someone who owns a med spa? Intro us at founders@tepali.com — our referral program pays you a third of their subscription for as long as they stay.
