Launch YC: Ritivel 💊 AI-native platform for Regulatory Document Submission

"Ritivel helps regulatory teams at pharma companies submit FDA documents 12x faster."
TL;DR Ritivel is an AI-native workspace for regulatory and medical writing teams at life sciences companies. Ritivel AI agents draft CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs in minutes instead of weeks, helping drugs reach patients faster.

Founded by Pavan Kalyan, Nirmit Arora & Gunin Gupta

Hey everyone 👋 Meet Pavan (PK), Gunin and Nirmit. The co-founders of Ritivel.

👬 The Team

The founders are engineers who previously built AI copilots at Microsoft Research. They saw firsthand that they could create better, more specialized copilots for complex workflows.

The team started by selling a generic copilot to process-heavy industries like life sciences to understand their regulatory workflows. After 50+ conversations with pharma professionals, they discovered the critical bottleneck in regulatory submissions and built Ritivel to solve it.

❌ The Problem

Every month a drug is delayed from reaching the market costs pharma companies ~$45M in lost revenue and more importantly, delays treatment for thousands of patients who need it.

Yet regulatory teams are stuck in a painful, months-long process to create FDA submissions like CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs:

  1. Information overload 📚 These submissions require synthesizing thousands of pages of clinical data, prior submissions, and regulatory guidance which is an overwhelming task even for experienced teams.
  2. Document hunting & version chaos 🔄 Teams waste hours digging through SharePoint folders, juggling multiple document versions, and chasing colleagues for the right files.
  3. Endless follow-ups 📧 Regulatory leads spend their days sending reminder emails, tracking down missing inputs, and managing status updates across teams.
  4. Manual drafting bottlenecks ⏳ Even with all the information gathered, the first draft alone takes weeks of painstaking work by highly specialized (and expensive) regulatory writers.

🔧 The Solution

Ritivel deploys AI agents that transform how regulatory teams work:

Draft the most common document types like CTDs, CSRs, INDs, and BLAs in minutes ✍️ Ritivel agents generate comprehensive first drafts directly in Microsoft Word, following FDA formatting requirements and pulling from your existing clinical data and prior submissions. Every data point includes citations linked back to the original source, so reviewers can verify with one click.

Intelligent document retrieval 🔗 Connected to SharePoint and Veeva, Ritivel agents automatically source the right documents from across your organization: no more digging through folders or chasing down files.

Automated follow-ups 📧 Integrated with Outlook, Ritivel agents handle reminder emails and follow-ups automatically, so you're not stuck chasing colleagues for missing documents.
