Founders: Morgan Fitzsimons and Kelly McCabeYear founded: 2020Website: percihealth.comBlessedly, cancer treatment is advancing each passing year, but unfortunately, the way care is experienced by patients hasn’t evolved with it. Perci Health is on a mission to challenge the way we think about cancer care, from diagnosis through to post-treatment care.During her 15 years of cancer care experience across both the private sector and the NHS, co-founder Kelly McCabe noticed a problem. While more patients were surviving cancer thanks to advances in medical science, diagnoses were coming too late and patients were being discharged too early.Thanks to this reactive style of treatment, many patients were left with fragmented care, and faced with slower recovery times, avoidable complications, and life-limiting side effects.Perci Health aims to change all of this. It’s a virtual clinic that connects current cancer patients, those who are post-treatment, and those who are worried they might be at risk with a multi-specialist team of experts who can assist them at all of these stages. Perci’s approach is to identify potential risk, diagnose early, provide optimised treatment, and then help guide patients’ lives post-cancer.Coming from leadership roles at CBS and ASOS, co-founder Morgan Fitzsimmons brought a vision of combining “clinical excellence and product excellence” to the table, utilising her expertise in consumer digital design to help ensure patients get the best care experience through the platform.Together, through Perci Health, Fitzsimons and McCabe have been delivering “whole human cancer care” and pioneering Performance Oncology – multidisciplinary care that’s proactive not reactive, supporting patients throughout the entire care journey, not just treatment. It’s an approach that’s both more personal and more precise, and, in five years, Perci Health aims to be the global leader in Performance Oncology.In 2025, Perci Health crossed a major milestone by closing out a £3m funding round (making for a total of £7.7m in funding) and becoming “the only cancer healthcare clinic backed by Macmillan Cancer Support”.Having supported 10,000 people through their cancer journeys so far, Perci Health is a startup that’s truly making a difference.View the full Startups 100 Index for 20261.
