It seemed to make sense that the future would involve a digital ordering platform and a bit more price transparency.” — Kent Bennett, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners and Torch Dental board member “We’ve been impressed with how customer focused the team has been in building, which is delivering great results for their customers – we’re excited to see the adoption continue to grow in the industry.” — Saurabh Bhansali, partner at Health Velocity Capital and Torch Dental board member Trending on Pulse 2.0
