Online pharmacy startup Chemist2U is looking to deliver more medicines directly to customers’ homes after reporting a quick uptake of its same-day prescription service since it launched last year.
Chemist2U has signed up 150 pharmacies across Australia and has grown sales by 10 per cent week on week. It has attracted the interest of venture capital firm AirTree Ventures which recently led a $3 million investment into the startup.
“We launched in March in Brisbane in the middle of the pandemic which was by and large helpful rather than unhelpful,” founder Dr Matthew Cullen said. “It had been in the works but certainly COVID-19 focused our attention big time.”
