description: >-
  NowRx Inc. was a Silicon Valley technology-enabled pharmacy that paired proprietary
  prescription-fulfilment software (marketed as QuickFill), robotic dispensing inside
  low-overhead micro-fulfilment centers, and its own last-mile courier fleet to offer
  free same-day and same-hour delivery of prescription medications across California and
  Arizona. Founded in 2015 and led by co-founder and CEO Cary Breese, it raised roughly
  $30M — an unusually large share of it from retail investors through SeedInvest equity
  crowdfunding — and was last marked at about a $275M valuation before running out of
  money. The company wound down in late 2022: Alto Pharmacy acquired its California
  pharmacy patient business effective 2022-11-30 and Capsule took its Arizona patient
  files, with patients transferred automatically. NowRx never operated a public developer
  program. No api., developer., docs. or app. host under nowrx.com resolves or has ever
  been archived, its GitHub organization now holds zero public repositories, and the only
  surviving first-party engineering artifacts are two npm packages under the @nowrx scope
  — both vendored forks of third-party React Native libraries, last published in January
  2022. The nowrx.com domain is no longer the company's: since late December 2023 it has
  served an unrelated WordPress health-content site under registrar privacy, so it is
  deliberately NOT wired here as a Website pointer. This profile is retained as a
  historical company record.

  Alto Pharmacy acquired the NowRx pharmacy patient business (California) effective
  2022-11-30; Capsule separately acquired the Arizona patient files. This was an asset
  sale during a wind-down, not an acquisition of the company as a going concern.
x-domain-status: reassigned
x-domain-note: >-
  nowrx.com resolves (Cloudflare, HTTP 200) but is no longer operated by NowRx Inc. The
  pharmacy marketing site was still archived at that address as late as 2023-10; by
  2024-01-02 the domain served a fresh WordPress install, and it now runs a health/wellness
  SEO content site ("Nowrx - Trusted Health Insights", first post dated 2023-12-25, 35
  posts) whose own About page says "NowRx is a health and wellness website" and lists a
  contact address at shantel.co. Registrant is Domains By Proxy. Its stock WordPress REST
  API at /wp-json/ is the content site's, not NowRx's, and is deliberately not recorded as
  an API surface for this company.

  detail: >-
    NowRx Inc. ceased operating in November 2022 — Alto Pharmacy bought its California
    patient business effective 2022-11-30 and Capsule took the Arizona files — and it
    never published a developer program in the first place: api.nowrx.com,
    developer.nowrx.com, docs.nowrx.com and app.nowrx.com return no DNS records, the
    Wayback Machine holds no snapshot of nowrx.com/api, /developer, /developers or /docs,
    and the company's GitHub organization (github.com/NowRx) is live but holds zero public
    repositories after its two repos were transferred to Ameripharma. The nowrx.com domain
    itself answers 200 but has been an unrelated WordPress health-content site since late
    December 2023, so its /wp-json/ REST API belongs to the current domain holder and not
    to this company.
