Hey YC!

We’re Raouf and Rayan — co-founders of G LNK

TL;DR

G LNK is an AI-powered platform that connects Pharma companies with doctors & researchers. Rayan worked on this as a consultant, where Pharma companies spent billions annually just to determine how much to pay doctors while staying within regulatory guidelines. Using LLMs, we’re automating the end-to-end process—from identifying candidates to compensation and compliance.

Problem

Pharma companies spend over $70 billion annually on engaging doctors & researchers, yet a lot of that money is wasted on outdated and manual processes:

  • Outsourcing is expensive and slow: Companies spend millions on third parties (consulting, recruiting, and regulatory firms)  just to find the right experts and to know how much to pay them compliantly.
  • Compliance risks are high: Payment miscalculations can lead to regulatory violations and hefty fines
  • Data is scattered: Contracts, payments and compliance tracking are spread across disconnected systems, making transparency and oversight difficult

Solution

G LNK automates Pharma companies' entire healthcare professional (HCP) engagement process—from identifying suitable doctors to engaging them. Here’s how it works:

  1. Identify HCPs:
    • Identify a doctor from our database of over 3.2 million user profiles (growing 250% MoM).
    • Alternatively, if you know who you want to engage, simply upload the doctor’s CV and we will take care of the rest.
  2. Calculate Compensation:
    • Instantly determine their compensation rates.
    • Adjust the rates dynamically based on factors such as service type and travel requirements.
  3. Engage Directly:
    • Contact the selected doctors directly through our platform.
  4. Ensure Compliance:
    • Maintain regulatory compliance and prevent compliance violations before they happen.
    • Leverage real-time data from trusted sources like NIH, PubMed, CBS, CMS, and more.

This step-by-step solution replaces multiple vendors with a single AI-powered platform, ensuring efficient, compliant, and cost-effective HCP engagement.

Additional Features

  • Built-in CRM to track all HCP engagements
  • Comprehensive financial tracking, including:
    • All Transfer of Value payments made to HCPs (date, purpose, associated drug)
    • Drug coverage breakdown
    • Monthly payment summaries
    • Payment analysis by Therapeutic Area
  • Tailored recommendations for grants, conferences, and publications for HCPs
  • Centralized database of regulations and Codes of Conduct across 150+ countries
