Berlin-based
Circle Health has closed a €9 million seed round of equity and debt financing,
led by Atlantic.vc, with participation from CRB Health Tech, Calm/Storm
Ventures, and Kfund.
The funding
comes amid a highly fragmented preventive healthcare landscape in Europe, where
care is delivered by a large number of small providers and chronic conditions
are often identified only once symptoms appear.
Founded by Peter Malmqvist(CEO) and Jannik Tiedemann (COO), Circle Health is developing an
integrated preventive care platform, Circle OS, that combines in-person
diagnostics, AI-enabled clinical support, and consumer-facing digital health
tools.
The platform is designed to aggregate data from multiple sources,
including wearables and laboratory tests, to support personalised and proactive
health programmes across areas such as metabolic health, hormonal balance,
fatigue, and gut health.
Peter Malmqvist
said that healthcare delivery is typically reactive, with patients often
accessing care only after illness has developed.
We’re building
a new model that empowers people to understand, improve, and maintain their
health proactively, and are bringing that freedom to patients across Germany.
Since opening in
2023, Circle Health’s Berlin clinic has treated several thousand patients
across a large number of appointments and reports strong patient satisfaction
based on customer feedback. The company’s AI-enabled therapist model is
designed to support clinicians with personalised insights and care
recommendations, with the aim of improving both patient experience and clinical
outcomes.
The funding will
be used to support ongoing product development and to expand Circle Health’s
hybrid clinic model across Germany, with plans to open additional locations in
cities including Munich, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf over the next year.
