Ever feel like your job became something completely different from what you signed up for?
Eunice Wu gets it. She trained as a pharmacist thinking she'd spend her days compounding medications and consulting with patients about their health. Instead? Hours lost to mind-numbing spreadsheets and administrative busywork that had nothing to do with actual pharmacy.
That frustration became her turning point.
In 2023, Wu teamed up with Can Uncu to build Asepha—a software company designed to hand off those soul-crushing tasks to AI. The idea wasn't just about automation for automation's sake. It was about giving professionals their time back. Letting them focus on the work that actually requires human expertise and judgment.
Sometimes the best business ideas come from personal pain points. Wu's pivot from pharmacy to tech founder proves that when you've lived a problem long enough, you're probably the right person to solve it.

Haha, it's so true. I originally wanted to do tech work, but ended up having meetings and writing documents every day.
