Meet the entrepreneur with the seed round record for a female founder

"It's your hardest round, because you are literally going in there with a slide deck and a smile, right?"

Hello Rainmakers,

We’ve got a terrific profile piece for you as one of two long reads this week.

It’s a fascinating insight into the processes of fund raising and sheer energy required from our conversation with Melissa Snover, who has 27 patents which can personalise and potentially transform medication, by enabling 3D printing of medicine on site in hospitals and pharmacies.

At the bottom we’ve also got news about our Rainmakers conference next March, and our most recent Forum event this week.

RECORD THE BREAKER

Rem3dy Health Group, one of the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurial businesses, is run by Melissa Snover, one of the UK’s most exciting entrepreneurs.

She claims the record for the largest seed round raised by a female founder in the UK followed by a massively-oversubscribed Series A round, which resulted in early investors making “a lot of money in a very short space of time”.

“When I started going for investment, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I had no idea, I had never done it before,” she said.

“Every other company that I had started and built up to a sellable level, I had taken friends and family money, small amounts, but I had never done anything like this.”

This is her story. Or at least, her story so far…
