When I first founded PharmBot AI, it was just me. From shaping the first prototypes to drafting SOPs, pitching to accelerators, preparing investor decks, and even managing outreach, I wore every hat to bring PharmBot to life.

That journey was challenging but rewarding. It allowed me to prove the concept, launch AIVAe, and demonstrate that AI has a vital role to play in supporting pharmacists, reducing pressures, and improving access to care.

But to take PharmBot from a vision to global impact, one person is not enough. Scaling requires a strong team of experts who can strengthen every part of the organisation and help deliver our mission at a higher level.

The Journey So Far

Over the past year, PharmBot has:

  • Launched AIVAe, our AI-powered assistant for pharmacy teams.
  • Been recognised through multiple award nominations, including Healthcare Technology Provider of the Year at the HealthInvestor Awards 2025.
  • Shared our innovation on the international stage at the FIP Congress 2024.
  • Engaged with accelerators and partners to prepare for global growth.

These milestones were achieved by a founder-led effort. But as PharmBot grows, it’s time to take the next step.

Why Building a Team Matters

Healthcare innovation is complex. It requires expertise in technology, clinical practice, operations, research, and partnerships. No single founder can cover it all at the level needed for global expansion.

That’s why this moment is so important: PharmBot AI now has a founding leadership team – a group of experts who will help us scale responsibly and strategically.
