Mayd receives 13 million euros

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

The medication delivery service Mayd has raised 13 million euros in a financing round. Target Global led the financing round, while 468 Capital and Earlybird also invested in the new start-up from McMakler founders Lukas Pieczonka and Hanno Heintzenberg. The Flixbus founders, Amorelie founder Lea-Sophie Cramer, Auto1 founder Hakan Koç and Aitme Managing Director Emmanuel Pallua Mayd are also supporting the start-up.

The name of the start-up is an abbreviation for "Meds at your doorstep". Users can order medication via an app and the delivery service brings it within 30 minutes. "Almost everything is delivered immediately these days. Just not something you need urgently when you're ill and don't want to go out - so we thought a delivery service would make sense here," explains Pieczonka in the Techcrunch interview.

At the moment, the delivery service is only available in Berlin, where the newly founded start-up is based. Pieczonka and Heintzenberg want to expand to other German cities this year. When Germany introduces digital prescriptions next year, it should also be possible to order prescription drugs.
