Egypt-based B2B pharma platform i‘SUPPLY has raised a US$1.5 million pre-seed round to expand across the country and elsewhere in the Middle East and Africa.

Founded in 2021 by Ibrahim Emam, Malek Sultan, and Moustafa Zaki, i‘SUPPLY aims to digitise the pharmaceutical business by providing a one-stop-shop solution to quickly predict and overcome supply chain disruptions.

“With an initial launch late in 2021, i’SUPPLY aims to transform medicine wholesale distribution in the MENA region and Africa by focusing on supporting and empowering mid- and small-sized wholesalers and pharmacies,” Emam said.

“The company is building a reliable and integrated network which enhances and augments traditional brick and mortar platforms with data-driven disruptive sales, distribution, and procurement solutions that optimise the procurement processes and provides a one-stop-shop solution that supports the industry’s stakeholders to quickly predict and overcome supply chain disruptions.”
