Founded by Max Mito, Christopher Durre, and Kieran Start, Strong Room offers a secure digital gateway to quickly and safely access specialised treatment plans for patients, with the aim of reducing adverse drug events.

Since launching their pilot last year, 50 pharmacies have come onboard. To support their growth the team has raised a pre-seed round of $350K from angel investors including key players within the pharmacy sector.
