Montu

End-to-end medical cannabis platform

Overview

Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship

Montu is a health technology company focusing on Australia’s medical cannabis sector. It runs a vertically integrated system that covers the entire patient journey from telehealth consultations to medication delivery, including the Alternaleaf telehealth clinic, Leafio distribution, uMeds fulfillment, and its own portfolio of cannabis products. Alternaleaf connects patients with a large network of doctors and nurses for online consultations, after which a prescription can be issued and Montu handles the downstream supply chain to deliver the medicine. The company earns revenue from telehealth visits and product sales, and it differentiates itself through its integrated platform that combines production, prescription, and dispensing, though this model has drawn regulatory scrutiny. Montu’s goal is to expand access to medical cannabis in Australia and grow its platform and product offerings within the healthtech cannabis market.
