It started with the dental professionals in our families

The Boukadoum brothers found their dentist sister frustrated with the disorganized and inefficient way that dental practices managed their critical supplies. They joined forces with software engineer Drew Werner, the son of a dental hygienist, who shared a similar passion for finding a better solution, and thus Torch was born.

Making dentists’ lives better so they can focus on their patients.
Our Mission

Torch is the all-in-one solution for dental practices’ supply ordering and inventory management needs. We make sure that getting quality products at the right price is as easy as a click of a button.

A passionate team that is committed to helping doctors

Torch is founded by Harvard, MIT and NYU Alumni with roots in dentistry and deep expertise in healthcare and technology. We are fortunate to have world-class investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, Felicis Ventures, FJ Labs, and Tectonic Ventures who share in our passion for healthcare and technology.

Our leadership
Khaled Boukadoum
Founder, Sales & Marketing

"KB,"; as the team calls him, has always been passionate about healthcare and technology. The Boukadoum family has many healthcare professionals from dentists to interventional radiologists. At the age of 13, KB set up a teleradiology system for his father so that he could read X-rays and MRIs at home instead of going to the hospital at 2 a.m. for emergencies. Before founding Torch, KB was a private equity investor at Blackstone. He graduated from Harvard Business School for his MBA and the University of Virginia with the highest distinction for his Bachelor’s degree.
