A female-led virtual cancer clinic has now raised a total of £7.7m funding after closing a new £3m round, doubling the original £1.5m target.
London-based Perci Health will use the funding, which includes a £295,000 investment from Macmillan Cancer Support, to accelerate its ambitious expansion plans.
Founded by two female healthcare innovators, the MedTech is aiming to redefine how cancer is managed, from prevention through to treatment and recovery.
The company combines the latest technology with care from a team which includes nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, psychologists and more, to create life-changing outcomes for people impacted by cancer and their families.
“We’re incredibly impressed by the way Perci Health is tackling the gaps in cancer care with a human-first, tech-enabled model,” said Chantal Cox , investor at Octopus Ventures.
“This approach not only addresses pressing healthcare needs but also delivers measurable impact in terms of both clinical outcomes and cost-efficiency, which is vital for scaling the model across more insurers, employers, and health systems.”
With 100% of directors, 80% of its leadership team and 60% of its executive board composed of women, Perci Health stands as one of the few UK scale-ups with an all-female founding team. Despite the fact that less than 2% of venture capital goes to female-led teams, the business has raised twice the average deal size for UK female-led startups in each of its funding rounds.
Kelly McCabe, co-founder and CEO of Perci Health, added: “Our mission to close the cancer care gap is powered by an outstanding team who are deeply committed to transforming the cancer care experience.
“This investment will allow us to continue pioneering a model of care that integrates digital innovation with compassionate, specialist-led support, providing better outcomes for everyone living with and beyond cancer.”
The funds will also enable the company to expand its partnerships with employers and insurers, ensuring that more people have access to its cancer care services.
With over 4,000 members supported in 2024 alone and 2.5m insurance lives covered, Perci Health has already demonstrated a 4x ROI for its insurance partners, with a 90 NPS score and a 4.8-star Trustpilot rating.
