Tepali: AI-Native Operating System for Medspas
See original launch post

Hey everyone!

We're Vishnu and Chrisvin, the co-founders of Tepali.

TL;DR

Tepali is the AI-native operating system for medspas. We replace the disconnected tools every medspa juggles today (marketing, scheduling, payments, charting, inventory, and team management) with a single platform built AI-first.

The Problem

Medspas are one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S., with over 30,000 locations and growing 20%+ annually. Owners are spending more on marketing than ever, but have no idea what's working.

A medspa owner runs a $1,800 HydraFacial campaign on Meta. Nine people walk in. Was that good? What's the cost per acquisition? What's the lifetime value of those patients vs. the ones who came from Google Ads? Today, answering that question means pulling data from your ad platform, your booking system, your POS, and a spreadsheet. And hoping the numbers line up. They never do.

This is the core problem: every medspa runs on disconnected tools that don't talk to each other. Separate systems for booking, charting, payments, marketing, inventory, and team management. Patient data lives in one place, revenue data in another, and marketing data in a third. Owners are flying blind on the decisions that matter most: which campaigns to scale, which patients are churning, which providers are most profitable.

The existing software isn't solving this, and what does exist was architected before the AI era. Medspa owners are left filling the gaps themselves.

Our Solution

Tepali replaces the current tech stack with a single AI-native platform.

Marketing intelligence: Connect ad spend to patient lifetime value automatically. See which campaigns print money and which ones to cut, without pulling from multiple platforms into spreadsheets.

Patient CRM + smart scheduling: Every patient's full journey from first ad click to VIP member in one profile. Provider-aware booking that matches treatments to qualified staff, with online self-booking, deposit capture, and automated reminders.

Digital charting + inventory: Treatment-specific charts with injection maps, photo documentation, and consent management. Real-time inventory with lot tracking, expiry alerts, and automatic reorder points.

AI assistant: An AI that sits on top of your entire operation and answers any question about your business in seconds. "Which campaigns should I scale?" "Who's available for Botox next Tuesday?" "Which patients are due for re-treatment?"

The Team

We've been best friends since middle school and building things together ever since.

Vishnu studied Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon, then built all-in-one operational software for multi-location businesses as a software engineer at Dripos (YC W20) and MealPal, working closely with support and implementations teams to understand the pain of fragmented tech stacks firsthand.

Chrisvin was an Investment Banking Analyst at PJT Partners, where he executed over $30 billion in M&A, restructuring, and strategic advisory across companies like the NFL, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, and Apollo. Before Tepali, he ran Biz Ops at Rilla, where he saw firsthand how AI is transforming high-ticket service industries like HVAC and recognized the same opportunity in medspas.
