About
Queue is a Palo Alto-based startup building what it describes as the world’s first fully autonomous robotic pharmacy system 12. Emerging from stealth on June 30, 2026 with a $12.6M seed round led by AlleyCorp, the company’s system takes sealed wholesale pill bottles and produces filled, verified prescription vials, supports the 250 most commonly prescribed U.S. medications, and has been deployed as a working prototype with a major national pharmacy chain 12. The company was co-founded by Nick Desai (CEO) and Josh Liu (CTO), and currently employs 20 engineers in Silicon Valley 23. Total funding to date stands at $18.6M, including a prior $6M pre-seed led by Riot Ventures 12.
