&you bets on online clinic: thousands of customers, Everywhere Ventures leads pre-seed
&you, a fully online clinic in the Philippines, gained thousands of customers in two months; pre-seed led by Everywhere Ventures.
&you
What the business is
Fully online telehealth clinic: users consult licensed Philippine doctors online, receive FDA-compliant prescriptions, and medicines are delivered nationwide to their homes; entry point is the most overlooked health vertical
How it started
Founders Emil Eriksen and Roland Ros saw a trust deficit in Philippine healthcare: 90% of people buy medicines themselves (not by preference but out of necessity), 7/10 rural patients spend hours seeing specialists, half of people cannot reach a clinic within 30 minutes, and 50% of families fall into financial hardship because of medical visits. In 2025-04 they launched &you in the Philippines, making the process from consultation to delivery a fully online closed loop
What happened
Within two months of launch, it accumulated thousands of customers; in 2025-06 it received pre-seed funding led by New York-based Everywhere Ventures (Everywhere Ventures' fifth investment in the Philippines), with funds used to expand the engineering team, strengthen local operations, and plan to launch new health verticals within 12 months
No ending yet — it is still running.
Background
&you is a fully online telehealth clinic launched in the Philippines in 2025-04: users consult licensed Philippine doctors in the app, receive FDA-compliant prescriptions, and medicines are delivered nationwide to homes, with no need to enter a physical clinic throughout the process. Founders Emil Eriksen and Roland Ros aim to become the most seamless and most trusted online healthcare platform in Southeast Asia.
The entry point is a set of numbers: 90% of people in the Philippines buy medicines themselves (not by preference but out of necessity), 7/10 rural patients spend hours seeing specialists, half of people cannot reach a clinic within 30 minutes, and 50% of families fall into financial hardship because of medical visits. &you bets that 'making access to help as easy and safe as ordering food delivery' can pull demand replaced by self-purchased medicines and the black market back into formal channels.
Within two months of launch, it accumulated thousands of customers; in 2025-06 it received pre-seed funding led by New York-based Everywhere Ventures (the fund's fifth investment in the Philippines), with funds used to expand the engineering team and local operations, and plans to enter new health verticals within 12 months. As of 2025-06, the company is still in the early stage of moving from validation to expansion.
What has to be true
- Philippine healthcare is out of reach: 90% self-purchase, half lack nearby clinics; online consultations plus delivery is structural.
- Trust is the biggest barrier: licensed doctors and FDA-compliant prescriptions replace black market and informal channels.
- SEA digital healthcare to exceed $22B by 2030, growing >18% annually; Philippines has large gaps.
- Asset-light: no clinics built; enter from overlooked vertical, then expand.
What can be applied
When infrastructure can't reach users, solve trust first: make licensing, compliance, and delivery a fully online closed loop.
Aftermath
As of 2025-06-11, &you has just completed pre-seed funding and is using the funds to expand the engineering team and local operations, with plans to launch new health verticals within 12 months; official statements say the platform already has thousands of customers and is in the stage of moving from early validation to expansion, without disclosing specific figures for follow-on funding, revenue, or user growth.
