Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
NimbleRx is a logistics tech app trying to improve medication access for customers across the US. Through its partnerships with local pharmacies, NimbleRx users can arrange for prescriptions to be delivered via the app - much like one would order an Uber.
It aligns neatly with the growing consumer preference for on-demand home-delivery services across the board. The pandemic period of course gave NimbleRx a shot in the arm, too - but it’s really taken off thanks to its 2021 partnership with the very company on which it appears to have modelled itself: Uber.
Through this partnership, the NimbleRx footprint is slowly spreading across the US, fuelled largely by Uber’s strong desire to roll out more branches of its healthcare-related services. It helped NimbleRx turn over $1B in revenue in 2021 alone.
It’s also going to help NimbleRx secure partnerships with substantially larger pharmacy chains than those it currently services. This will be crucial in netting custom from the middle bracket just below behemoths like Walgreens Boots Alliance and CVS Health - who are developing prescription delivery services of their own. Without the backing and reach of an equally large organization to bolster it, it’s hard to see how a startup like NimbleRx could have competed.
