🚀 doinstruct raises €16.5m Series A 🚀 Last year, we led their seed round, blown away by how their product solves the problem of training workers and achieving compliance for businesses in industries from food processing to construction to logistics to manufacturing and more. Their AI-powered platform is built with the needs and behaviors of these workers front of mind - mobile-first, no app to download or password to remember, bite-sized content, automated, available in 25+ languages. doinstruct boosts knowledge retention by 60% and cuts training costs in half. They've seen incredible traction with customers including, DO & CO AG, WIESENHOF Geflügel-Kontor GmbH, Voelkel, SCHMITZ FEUERWEHRTECHNIK, and ECHTERHOFF. Customers report reducing new worker integration time from weeks to days. HV Capital is leading this round and we’re very happy to participate alongside other existing investors, including HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds and D11Z.Ventures GmbH & Co. KG . Congrats to Charlotte Rothert, Mona Feder, Daniel Marinkovic and the team. They have huge momentum and we’re excited to see them expand across Europe and integrate AI even more deeply into their approach.

We’re delighted to welcome Filip Mark as our latest addition to the investment team! Filip's love for great products runs deep. Whether it was finding backdoors to a Spotify license years before its US launch or building our portfolio company Passionfroot into an AI-driven creator ad platform, Filip has always gravitated toward companies that shape culture. Along the way, he’s been a consultant, investor, operator, and even a ski guide (though some skis didn’t survive the ride). As part of our extended family at Passionfroot, he experienced firsthand what it takes to go from zero to one, scaling a product from scrappy MVP to one that serves the largest tech companies and creators in the world alongside co-founder Jennifer Phan . Now, he’s bringing that product-obsessed mindset to Creandum’s investment team in Stockholm—helping us find and back the next generation of category-defining companies. Welcome aboard, Filip 🚀

🏥 60% of US adults have a chronic disease. Around the world, societies are facing the challenges of aging populations and rises in chronic conditions. 📈 The key to moving towards more predictive and preventative, patient-centered care lies in data. 📠 Today, patient data is stored in siloes, transferred using outdated methods like fax, or simply lost. Nearly 1 in 5 lab tests go incomplete, delaying care. The proliferation of wearables from Oura rings to sleep trackers to glucose monitors means that there is more health-related data than ever before available. Data which can be hugely effective at predicting and preventing illness if it can be integrated and made actionable. Introducing Junction (formerly Vital) whose $18m Series A we are leading alongside existing investors, Y Combinator, Point Nine , 20VC and Amino Collective. Junction’s mission is to power the future of personalized care through a unified health data platform that connects lab tests, wearables and medical devices through a single API. Junction already powers over 140 healthcare organizations, including leaders like Found, Parsley Health, and Evidation, supporting over 500k lab tests annually and over 2 million connected devices. 🚀The opportunity here is immense. A 2020 McKinsey & Company report estimates that $250m of US healthcare spending could shift to virtual care delivery. We’re excited to join Maitham Dib and the team on this journey.

Great to see how fellow portfolio company Neo4j has played a key role in Klarna's internal roll out of AI. 💚 💪 🚀 cc Johan Brenner
Yes, we did shut down Salesforce a year ago, as we have many SaaS providers—an internal estimate is about 1,200 SaaS shut down. No, I don't think it is the end of Salesforce; might be the opposite. Here is what actually happened and how/why we originally intended to NOT share it publicly: At Klarna, we decided early to explore the potential of AI and LLMs—mostly ChatGPT—while being open to testing all things that seemed to be trending. We encouraged all employees to do so and allowed them to pursue ideas organically rather than following "management direction" on exactly what they should be building. In the early days of ChatGPT, we heard a lot: "this tool allows you to feed all your PDFs, all your data sources to a LLM!" However, the old universal truth of data scientists still holds true, even in AI: "shit in, shit out." Feeding an LLM the fractioned, fragmented, and dispersed world of corporate data will result in a very confused LLM. We started instead exploring a few key concepts: What of our data was actually valuable? What data was duplicative, incorrect, or contradicting? Why was it like that? While people nowadays can criticize things like Wikipedia, we also reflected on the fact that it is a remarkable achievement—having over 20,000 people collaborate on the largest graph of knowledge that is still fundamentally of high quality, accessibility, and accuracy. What could we learn from this? A Swedish company, Neo4j introduced us to the beautiful world of graphs. We further explored data modeling, ontology, and, of course, vectors, RAGs, and many things.
