About

Every day, patients across the US pay for crucial treatments that that aren't covered by health insurance. That's why we created this forum—to help each other out.

Bulk is a cost-splitting service that helps people living with chronic conditions combine their collective purchasing power to get wholesale discounts on products they depend on.

Benefits for customers

Discover new products faster: We share advice and tips with each other based on their past experiences, misdiagnoses, and alternative treatments we've tried. Together, we can solve our conditions and alleviate our pain faster by researching, sampling, eliminating, and procuring various therapies together.

Sample products: Sample products you'd never try otherwise. Many of us are hesitant to try new products because they're expensive, or we're worried they won't work. But if you can split the cost with a group of people, you can try new products without the financial risk.

Save big money through wholesale pricing: Many of us are paying full price for products we depend on, when we could be getting cheaper wholesale pricing. But there's strength in numbers. We provide well-structured RFP documents, purchase orders (PO’s), and contracts that standardize the process of procuring and negotiating terms with many different types of vendors.

Mass-reviews: Trusting one person's review can be tough. Are they biased? Were they paid by the brand to say what they said? But when dozens of community members order a sample and review it at once, it becomes more difficult to cheat. Moreover, our platform tracks user purchase history so you can see if a user has purchased a certain product for months or whether they've purchased once and are likely a shill.

Benefits for vendors

  • Acquire more customers, faster: Larger bulk purchases means more customers for you. Instead of acquiring one customer at a time, our members can introduce your product to the entire community and convince them to purchase. More importantly, these customers don't choose your product, then their entire bulk purchase may go to a competitor instead.
  • Find high-need, well-segmented customers: In addition to bringing you more customers, our customers are high-need and well-segmented, allowing for more targeted marketing campaigns, local virality, higher conversion rates, and affinity and trust towards one another.
  • Discover new use cases for your products: Many customers are likely using your products to treat conditions that you never even thought of. For instance...[this] is great for alleviating [that], but it's also great for [this, that, and the other]. We can help you uncover these use cases and you market them to new audiences.
  • Creator sponsorships/partnerships: We can help connect you with community members for sponsored campaigns. [Many of these customers are prominent medically-focused creators that educate their followers on the benefits of products like yours in addressing categories of health challenges that you may not have thought of.]
