InstantScripts is an online telehealth platform that enables customers to receive online medical scripts, consultations, and more. Founded in 2018, Maxim has helped grow the company to recently be acquired by Wesfarmers for $135 million.

Throughout the episode, Maxim talks about how keeping a small but efficient team has enabled telehealth to thrive without too much overhead. Furthermore, Maxim emphasises the importance of planning, especially with technology as InstantScripts’ well-planned architecture has enabled them to now host over 100,000 consultations per month.
