"AI, proactive care and M&A: Healthtech predictions for 2024" - Sifted's take on this year's Healthtech predictions are out.

Our very own Johannes Blaschke expects a particular surge in providers’ adoption of AI solutions. This shift may even hold the potential to reverse the digital health funding slump we have seen in 2023. 

What are your predictions?

To our incredible network, 

We wish you a calm and joyful holiday season with time to unwind, recharge, and prepare for the storms of the coming year. 

From all of us at Calm/Storm, here's to a peaceful break and gearing up for whatever lies ahead! ❄ ✨

🥹 So proud of our very own Carina Roth for telling her story as a “failed” founder in the latest edition of brutkasten.  

Especially in Austria 🇦🇹 failing is still a big taboo no one talks about when instead there is so much to learn from. 🙏 Thanks Carina, for sharing your experience and your learnings.

And congrats brutkasten on the new magazine! 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gS8rcaiZ

I am thrilled to announce that we have raised CHF 1.45M in total after an oversubscribed pre-seed round, just 4 months after launching Everyman Health! 🌵🚀 

Some of the many amazing investors supporting this round are:
- Calm/Storm Ventures, the #1 early-stage digital health investor in Europe
- Joe Spector, founder of hims & hers, who is “helping us win in Europe with his experience”
- Ertan Wittwer, founder of bestsmile, BetterView, Hair&Skin, CARE 
- Kai Eberhardt, founder of Oviva 

One year ago, this started with a blank piece of paper. So we are incredibly proud to have already helped more than 500 Swiss men find their path to a better life. Those Slack-order-notifications make me smile every time! A BIG THANK YOU to Marc Fröhlich, Jan Pleser, Nick Lenten, and everyone else on our amazing team. 

We are on a mission to build the most customer-obsessed health platform for European men and later women. The money will go to expanding our tech platform, opening new verticals & markets, and growing our brand.

We are always looking for great engineers and healthtech folks, so ping me if you’re interested to chat!

Absolutely thrilled to have been part of Healthtech Forward in Warsaw! 🏥 🚀     

What an incredible event that brought together some of the brightest minds in healthtech. The engaging conversations, innovative ideas, and the vibrant energy of the attendees truly made this event stand out. A big shoutout to the organizers for orchestrating such a fantastic gathering in the beautiful city of Warsaw, where European shakers and makers in healthtech converged to share insights and forge connections. It was inspiring to be surrounded by individuals who are driving positive change in the industry.

I had the privilege of participating in a panel session on the intricate topic of Business Models that work (or don't work) in healthcare, alongside the brilliant Guy Spigelman, Michael Treskow, Simon Bates and Enric Claverol. Exploring the challenges and opportunities in this area was genuinely thought-provoking.

As always, the true highlight of these events is the people - the power of networking and building relationships within the healthtech community is what makes such experiences this valuable. It was a joy connecting with old and new friends such as Sascha Guenther, Marta Mrozowicz, 🚀Kris Przybylak, Cédric Odje, Daria Gherghelas, Dr. Daniel Fallscheer, Paul Kurz, Isabella Mihov (Tanase), Philipp Presslauer, Benjamin Belot, Philipp Harnischfeger, Zara Liew, Manuel Grossmann, Julian Kley, MD, Magdalena Plotczyk, PhD, Cyrus Tchahardehi, Katharina Neisinger, Alejandro Serrano Saunders, Sophy Li, Stefanie Kearney, Aahuti Rai, Lina Behrens and many more. 

Looking forward to continued collaboration and pushing the boundaries of innovation in the ever-evolving landscape of healthtech! 🌐💡
