Pharmacierge

Pharmacierge is a healthtech company that provides a digital e-prescribing platform and medication delivery service for private clinicians and their patients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Founded in 2015 by brothers Edward and Robert Ungar, the company is an evolution of a family pharmacy business with a 50-year history. The founding was inspired by their father, pharmacist Leon Ungar, and Dr. Stuart Ungar, who co-founded The Doctors Laboratory. Edward Ungar, the CEO, has a background as a director at Google and holds an MBA, while Robert designed the UK's first private e-prescribing platform.

The company's core offering is the mPrescribe® app, a platform that allows clinicians to electronically write and send private prescriptions to Pharmacierge's dispensary. This service is free for clinicians and aims to reduce administrative tasks, saving up to 15 minutes per prescription. After a prescription is sent, patients receive a secure payment link via phone or email and the medication is delivered, with free same-day service in London and next-day service nationwide. The business model centers on dispensing medication from its own centrally located, robotically-enabled 5,500 sq ft dispensary on Wimpole Street in London's medical district. The company's formulary contains more than double the range of an average pharmacy, including specialized, refrigerated, and controlled medicines.

Pharmacierge has secured approximately $4.97 million in funding over two rounds, with a significant portion coming directly from its clinician users, highlighting strong user trust. A 2023 funding round of £2.4 million was notably clinician-led, with 90% of the investment from its users. This capital is being used to integrate dispensing robotics and AI to manage its extensive inventory and scale operations. The company serves over 4,000 clinicians and is co-owned by its team and 80 leading private clinicians, reflecting a unique partnership model in the healthtech sector.
