Mayd receives 13 million euros

The medication delivery service has only been around since this year. The start-up now wants to expand to more cities.

Medication delivery service Mayd has raised €13 million in a funding round. Target Global led the funding round, and 468 Capital and Earlybird also invested in the new startup from McMakler founders Lukas Pieczonka and Hanno Heintzenberg. Also backing are Flixbus founders, Amorelie founder Lea-Sophie Cramer, Auto1 founder Hakan Koç and Aitme CEO Emmanuel Pallua Mayd.

The startup's name is an acronym for "Meds at your doorstep." Users can order medicines through an app and the delivery service will bring them within 30 minutes. "Almost everything is delivered instantly these days. Just not something you need urgently when you're sick and don't want to go out - so we thought this is where a delivery service makes sense," Pieczonka explained in the Techcrunch interview.

For now, the delivery service is only available in Berlin, where the newly founded startup is based. Pieczonka and Heintzenberg plan to expand to other German cities before the end of the year. When Germany introduces digital prescriptions next year, it should also be possible to order prescription drugs.
