iethico, a Harrogate, UK-based startup that provides a pharmaceutical sourcing solution, announced that it secured £625,000 in funding.

The investment was from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) managed by Midven (which manages UKI2S), a part of the Future Planet Capital Group, to help combat global medicine shortages.

The investment is split into two tranches. Firstly, it will help the company boost its headcount and complete the market testing of its platform. The second tranche will be used as the cornerstone of a larger series A funding round.

The company will use the funds to address the global medicine shortages with its platform, linking pharmacists with suppliers of hard-to-get medicines.

Debra Ainge, CEO of iethico, said: “Medicine shortages are a recognized major public health concern, occurring every day across healthcare settings, affecting patients and all stakeholders involved in their care. The investment from Midven enables us to help overcome these limitations, not only ensuring medicine supply in times of need but ultimately addressing inequality in access to medicines.”
