About Pulse Charter Connect

Pulse Charter Connect is building the national transportation software solution for organ transplant logistics — a unified platform that connects transplant centers, OPOs, charter operators, and perfusion teams through real-time aircraft and ground availability, transparent pricing, and HIPAA-compliant communication. By replacing fragmented phone calls and opaque broker networks with a vetted, safety-driven digital infrastructure, PCC reduces delays, improves visibility, and ensures no organ is lost because of logistics.

PCC was founded after seeing firsthand how the logistics system wasn’t built for the speed and precision that modern transplant medicine demands. Founder and CEO Laura Epstein, an aerospace engineer with aviation and healthcare logistics experience, recognized that while transplant science had advanced dramatically, transportation often still ran on manual calls and fragmented vendors. The company’s mission is clear: to eliminate transportation as a barrier to lifesaving care by creating a transparent, safety-driven, data-powered network that keeps every organ, every team, and every flight on time.
