The fast pharmacy delivery service has received a six-figure sum. So far, First A's service is only available in Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin.

The fast pharmacy delivery service First A has raised a six-figure sum and can look forward to prominent investors. As Gründerszene from founder Antonie Nissen, the investors are the Gorillas founders Jörg Kattner, Felix Chrobog and Ronny Shibley as well as the brothers Felix and Florian Swoboda.

So far, the delivery pharmacy service is only available in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, but other districts and other German cities are soon to follow. To enable delivery within 30 minutes, First A works together with local pharmacies, from which the suppliers buy the medicines and products and bring them to the customers. There is a fee of 2.50 euros for this service, and so far only over-the-counter medicines can be ordered.

Nissen founded the start-up with her brother Leif Löhde, and today 20 employees work for the Berlin-based company. The app was launched in September of this year.
