Gralewski, who previously founded Polish professional networking site GoldenLine.pl, said: "Since launching in 2012, we have been committed to making DocPlanner a leading medical appointment booking platform, first in Europe, then globally. The Series B funding will help us achieve this goal by allowing us to scale our team and hire senior managers, further improve our product, and begin commercialising two new markets in 2015."

I believe DocPlanner can grow even faster with this financing, and aim to support them using my experience working with high-growth startups."
