Key Takeaways:

1. The origin of Grapevine came from Luka's desire to contribute to a solution that his parents were facing while they were at risk taking care of patients during COVID.

2. Diversifying spend among suppliers and creating a more competitive marketplace decreases costs and saves time. 

3.  1/2 trillion is spent on medical supplies and pharmaceuticals and Grapevine aims to cut that in half in the near term across all medical practices.
