Spotify Founders Invest in Sand Clinic: A New Longevity Clinic Opening in Stockholm
Spotify Founders' Investment Paves the Way for Cutting-Edge Healthcare at Sand Clinic in Stockholm.
The upcoming opening of the Sand Clinic in Stockholm, founded by Anna Levander and Jennie Sandqvist, is just around the corner. Inspired and backed by a joint €4m investment from Spotify founders Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, this clinic promises a new era of science-backed treatments and innovations in the heart of the Forskaren Science Center.
Key Innovations
Personalized Plans: Members of the Sand Clinic can expect comprehensive health services customized to their unique individual needs.
Data-Driven Platform: Seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technology to enable precise diagnostics and continuous monitoring, facilitating a comprehensive approach to healthcare. Connecting the dots for a more informed and personalized patient experience.
Advanced Diagnostics and Treatments: Sand Clinic will offer a range of services to assess health risks, prevent diseases, and promote overall well-being. Providing cutting-edge treatments like vascular ultrasound, blood samples, heart and muscle performance checks, vacuum therapy, and red light therapy.
Evidence-Based Care: By prioritizing science-backed treatments over unproven remedies commonly found in the wellness industry, Sand Clinic upholds a commitment to providing safe, effective, and evidence-based healthcare solutions.
State-of-the-art facilities located at the Forskaren Science Center: Sand Clinic will be located within the Forskaren Science Center, a hub for life science innovation in the heart of Stockholm. This center is designed to foster collaboration and growth among businesses and researchers in the life sciences sector.
Tesla's Business Model Influence
Drawing inspiration from Tesla's business model, Anna Levander and Jennie Sandqvist are committed to enhancing accessibility to their services. Despite initial monthly fees ranging from €1K to €10K, the duo aims to broaden access by implementing a strategy akin to Tesla's approach:
“Our ambition is, over time, to open up smaller and less costly clinics with the most impactful treatments that we find from our collected data and the procedures we do here.”
Longevity on the Rise
The investment from high-profile entrepreneurs highlights the growth potential of the health and biotech sector. With the longevity market expanding into a billion-dollar industry, we witness increasing investor interest in supporting clinics. Daniel Ek's involvement in healthcare is not new; he also co-founded Neko Health, a diagnostics startup specializing in full-body scanning services, securing €60 million in Series A funding through a round led by Lakestar, with participation from Atomico and General Catalyst.
