Oslo-based Eyr, an e-health startup, announced that it has secured NOK 22M (approximately €1.84M) in a fresh round of funding.
Investinor, an investment firm funded by the Norwegian government, contributed little under half of the capital and is now Eyr’s largest shareholder. TV2 Invest, Aventia, and many previous investors contributed the majority of the remaining funds.
Founded in 2016 by Karl Martin Lind, Eyr aims to give people better access to healthcare and insight into their own health data. “Eyr builds and delivers tomorrow’s healthcare services!”
The company provides video consultations with doctors and other telehealth services to employees in businesses through insurance agreements (B2B) as well as direct sales to patients (B2C).
Currently, Eyr is operational in the Nordics with doctors and psychologists in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.
The startup claims to have gained traction in the last six months with considerable growth in the number of digital consultations, particularly in mental health.
Kine Skjervum-Karlsen, CEO and MD of Eyr says, “With the fresh capital, we will continue to create good, safe, and accessible healthcare services. We will continue to focus on growth while steering towards profitable and efficient operations.”
