Circle Health, a Berlin-based preventive care startup, has closed a €9 million seed round combining equity and debt. The round was led by Atlantic.vc, with participation from CRB Health Tech, Calm/Storm Ventures, and Kfund.
The company is positioning the raise against what it describes as Europe’s fragmented preventive healthcare market, where care is delivered across many smaller providers and chronic conditions are often only identified once symptoms appear.
Circle Health was founded by CEO Peter Malmqvist and COO Jannik Tiedemann. It’s building an integrated preventive care platform called Circle OS, which it says combines in-person diagnostics, AI-enabled clinical support, and consumer-facing digital health tools.
Circle OS is designed to pull together health data from multiple sources, including wearables and laboratory tests, to support personalised, proactive programmes spanning areas such as metabolic health, hormonal balance, fatigue, and gut health.
“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,” Malmqvist said.
Circle Health says its Berlin clinic, which opened in 2023, has treated “several thousand” patients across a large number of appointments, and reports strong patient satisfaction based on customer feedback. The company also says its AI-enabled therapist model supports clinicians with personalised insights and care recommendations, aiming to improve patient experience and clinical outcomes.
The funding will go towards further product development and the rollout of Circle Health’s hybrid clinic model to additional German cities over the next year. Planned locations include Munich, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf.
