SafetyWing

SafetyWing, an Norwegian-founded startup that offers health insurance solutions for the growing remote workforce, has raised $8 million in a Series A round led by early Spotify and Klarna investor Creandum with participation from previous investors Rocketship and byFounders. The founders' vision is to "replicate the Norwegian social safety net globally," particularly as remote work becomes the new normal. So SafetyWing has developed a remote health insurance scheme for startups and businesses with distributed teams, covering many countries. When the startup launched in Oslo three years ago, the first product was travel insurance for digital nomads or just anyone (below the age of 39) who likes to travel.
