HappiLabs, founded by Tom Ruginis, operates as a virtual lab manager that helps labs source and price supplies and manage purchasing. Ruginis launched the company in 2012 with $20,000 raised from friends and family. The company has grown to 14 employees, including six PhD virtual lab managers and eight support staff, and is actively working with 26 labs across the country. HappiLabs earned $1 million in 2017 and this summer received a $120,000 investment from Y Combinator. The team is building an internal software tool for lab managers and is searching for a CTO to lead product and technology development. Longer-term, the founder envisions hardware and software products for labs, including voice-assistant–style systems for scientists and tools suitable for extreme environments like the ISS or Mars.
