44 percent of all sick leaves in Sweden are due to mental illness. In total, this costs the society between SEK 77 and 100 billion every year - but despite the fact that almost a third of primary care visits concern mental illness, only around three to four percent are allowed to see a psychologist for assessment and treatment according to national and international guidelines. In addition, a third of the country's health centers do not have a psychologist at all. This means that wherever in the country you live will determine if you can see a psychologist. Mindler is changing this with its digital service through which you can quickly and easily book a video visit with a licensed psychologist from home, through your smartphone or tablet. Welcome to our virtual fireside chat with Rickard Lagerqvist, CEO & Co-Founder Mindler where we discuss: ⭐ How was the journey from a doctor to an entrepreneur? ⭐ What are the struggles involved in seeking care for mental illness in Sweden? ⭐ Are there stigmas associated with mental illness? How do we break these down? ⭐ How did the Mindler idea start? Early struggles of building the startup? ⭐ What is Mindler's business model? Are you a platform or an employer for doctors? ⭐ Has it been easy to get funding for Mindler, especially the 150 mkr round you closed in June 2021? ⭐ How has the journey of international expansion turned out? Are challenges similar in other countries? ⭐ What have been the challenges from the regulatory side in building the startup? ⭐ Rickard's advice to upcoming entrepreneurs especially in health-tech! The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd, Business Advisor & Partnerships Lead at Coompanion Stockholm, serial impact entrepreneur, and Director Startup Grind Stockholm.
