MedicAnimal.com is among the largest e-commerce companies in Europe specialised in veterinary and pet retail and is the largest online pet retailer in the UK by sales. Founded in 2008, the company has raised over $45m in funding and is one of the largest and fastest-growing e-commerce companies in Europe with revenues of over £70m and a team of approximately 250 people. MedicAnimal specializes in sale of veterinary products, namely medicines, food and accessories, to end pet owners. The company has over 2.7m transacting customers and operates in the UK, France, Germany, Benelux and Spain. MedicAnimal was last year ranked the 11th fastest growth technology company in the Sunday Times Tech Track league table and was chosen as one of the Future Fifty companies, a UK Government backed initiative supporting “scale-up” businesses.

Ivan received a BA in Economics from Tufts University in 1997 and worked in Equity Research in New York, London and Madrid. In 2000 Ivan joined Geocapital Partners, a US and London based venture capital fund, making investments on both sides of the Atlantic, during which time he witnessed the internet bubble and aftermath. Following this experience he received an MBA from Columbia Business School and it was in his second year of the MBA that he wrote the business plan for MedicAnimal. Immediately after Business School Ivan joined the Sales & Trading desk of Goldman Sachs in London, first trading Credit Derivatives and ultimately Commodities. Upon leaving Goldman, Ivan set up MedicAnimal, together with his business partner Andrew Bucher (a veterinary surgeon), which was a very late entrant in the space and over the course of the following 6 years grew the business into the largest online pet retailer in the UK.
This dinner is hosted by one of TableCrowd's wonderful hosts, Caroline. She'll be looking after you on the night.
