About the company:
Our client is one of the leading Medical Cannabis Teleclinics in the UK, now expanding
into Germany. Founded in 2022 by a seasoned entrepreneur with a track record in digital
healthcare, telemedicine and regulated markets, the company combines digital healthcare, specialist clinicians, Internal Technology and its own pharmacy to deliver a complete medical cannabis treatment pathway. Through its online platform, patients are
connected with doctors trained in cannabis-based medicine. If eligible, they’re prescribed treatment, and the medicine is dispensed directly through the company’s in-house pharmacy, ensuring a smooth and fully-managed experience from consultation to care to dispensing of the medicine.
With over 100 employees and monthly revenues exceeding €1.5 million, this is not only one of the UK's leading clinics, but also its fastest growing. The goal is to replicate and adapt the company’s successful UK strategy for the German market. The founder has a proven track record of doing exactly this, having previously expanded a UK Digital Healthcare business into Germany, which now generates over €5 million in annual revenue.
