About Pillo

In May 2021, Zach Lee, Craig Vishwesh, and Diego Tozzi met through League of Legends. What began as playing games together quickly turned into late-night conversations about programming, technology, and the things we wanted to build.

We soon discovered that we shared more than an interest in gaming. All three of us loved coding, experimenting with new ideas, and creating things from scratch. More importantly, we all had the same ambition: we wanted to start our own company.

We didn't have much experience running a business, and we certainly didn't have everything figured out. But we knew we wanted to build something together, turn our ideas into real products, and eventually create something people would actually use.

That ambition led us to start RTRVR in 2021. Zach helped establish our company in South Korea, and what began as a small project between friends eventually evolved into pitcrew Inc. and Pillo Health Inc.

In the beginning, we weren't focused on any one industry. We simply wanted to make useful software. We spent our time brainstorming ideas, building apps, learning from our mistakes, and figuring out what it actually meant to turn a project into a product.

The idea that eventually became Pillo came from a conversation about our families.

Zach mentioned that his mother sometimes needed help remembering to take her medications on time. Craig related to that experience through his grandmother, who was living with Parkinson's disease. Helping her manage everyday routines was something he understood personally, and he knew how much easier life could be for both of them if there were a simple, dependable way to manage medications.

We realized that these weren't problems unique to our families. Millions of people struggled with medication routines, and the people caring for them often carried that responsibility too.

We started asking ourselves a question: What if we could build something that made this easier for everyone?

We wanted it to be free, simple, and accessible. Something our own families could comfortably use without needing to understand technology or pay for basic features. We weren't interested in making something complicated just because we could. We wanted to build something that solved a real problem.

Of course, getting there wasn't straightforward.

We built plenty of other apps along the way. Some worked, some didn't, and others never made it beyond an early prototype. But every project taught us something new about development, design, and understanding what people actually needed.

Eventually, after countless experiments, conversations, and late nights spent writing code, we built Pillo.

What began as three friends wanting to start a company has grown into a team working to make medication management easier for people and families around the world.

Looking back, it's funny to think that none of this would have happened if we hadn't ended up in the same League of Legends game.

We started because we loved building things and wanted to create a company of our own. We found our purpose when we realized that the things we built could genuinely make someone's life easier.

And that's what continues to drive us today.
