The graduating startup teams of cohort #7 of DigitalWell Accelerator autumn 2024 at Business Village Aker Brygge in Oslo.

DigitalWell Ventures’ seventh cohort reached its peak the 26th of November 2025 in Oslo! Ten promising startups presented their visions and business strategies to investors at Business Village Aker Brygge. The DigitalWell Ventures Demo Day pitch event marked the culmination of the intensive 12-week accelerator program, where the startups has worked to strengthen their positions in the capital market.

“It’s very inspiring to see how these startups have developed throughout our shared journey so far. This demo day pitch is a way to package the knowledge they’ve gained—from defining how much capital they need to outlining their short- and long-term strategies to make their business ideas attractive to customers and investors,” says Stefan Skoglund, CEO of DigitalWell Ventures.

Several prominent investors were present to provide valuable feedback to the startups, including Trond Riiber Knudsen (TRK Group), Michaela Berglund (Feminvest) and Regine Larsen Lindtvedt (IF).

The latter, who evaluates over 1,500 startups annually on behalf of the insurance company IF Insurance, emphasized the “massive” impact their support can have when the right solution aligns with the needs of IF’s 8 million Nordic customers.

“When it comes to health, we are primarily interested in preventive services, one focus area is mental health. This includes early interventions to reduce stress or solutions that help shorten treatment processes,” says Regine Larsen Lindtvedt.

The accelerator startups’ services cover a wide range of areas—from how AI can assist in the early detection of dementia (Cognes) to a virtual and secure game community for sick children (Friendbase) and improved sleep cycles through AI personalized sounds (NapLab).

Health Tech has been the cornerstone of DigitalWell Ventures since its inception in 2021. This year, the accelerator program naturally expanded to include cybersecurity, a closely related area exemplified by Norgald as an excellent first example. 💡

✔️ The other startups in the cohort included GlobePerson / GlobePatient, Traino, WellMate, Phystec, Hemstöd, and Add Safety —each addressing significant needs in healthcare and wellbeing.

“I truly believe several of these startups have great potential to succeed. There are also quite positive signals in the capital market right now which could benefit early-stage companies —that is also the feedback we got from the investors participating at the event here today - so the future looks exciting!” concludes Stefan Skoglund.
