Solace Care
Legacy planning and post-loss support, distributed through life insurers
Last verified August 31, 2026 · Updated daily
What Solace Care is building
Solace Care is a platform for the two halves of death that nobody has built software for: organising your affairs while you are alive, and executing the administrative wreckage after someone dies. The before side is legacy planning, where you record documents, accounts, and wishes. The after side is guided loss, where the platform walks a family through the practical sequence of cancelling, notifying, transferring, and filing, with emotional support layered into the same flow rather than bolted on. The interesting decision is distribution, and it is the one that makes the company work. Solace Care does not sell to grieving families, who are a terrible acquisition target by every measure: unpredictable timing, zero brand recall, and a moment when nobody is shopping. It sells to life insurers, brokers, and employers, who already have the relationship and are actively looking for something to attach to a commodity product. Josef put the constraint plainly: a product that does nothing for you until you die is a tough sell to a healthy 35-year-old. Routing through the carrier solves that. The wedge is a real gap in the insurance market. Solace Care's cited figures are that 89% of policyholders globally expect more holistic support from providers while only 28% of insurers offer bereavement services alongside claims handling. Valtteri's framing of the opportunity is direct: life insurance is a commodity product whose value proposition has barely changed in decades. Bereavement support is a differentiator a carrier can actually put on a product sheet. The growth so far has come from partner distribution rather than marketing spend, which is the correct proof for this model. 25,000 lives across three Nordic markets since a mid-2025 launch, starting from a first partnership with Försäkringsutveckling AB and expanding to funeral homes and carriers.
Why this matters
Europe's demographics make this a market that grows on its own without any change in behaviour, and the Nordics are the right place to prove it: high life-insurance penetration, digitally mature carriers, and small enough markets that a handful of distribution deals gets you meaningful coverage. Solace Care has done that in roughly a year. The sharper argument is on the insurer's side of the ledger. Life insurance competes almost entirely on price because the product is identical everywhere, and the gap between 89% of policyholders wanting holistic support and 28% of insurers providing it is the definition of a wedge. Solace Care lets a carrier differentiate without repricing, which is the only kind of differentiation a life insurer can actually ship quickly. The cap table is the strongest evidence that the thesis holds. Former CEOs of ICA Försäkring, Fennia, and Eir Insurance put their own money in. These are the exact people who would have to buy this product, and they are the ones best positioned to know whether a carrier would.

250+Hiring outlook
The funding announcement explicitly names senior hires in product and commercial operations as a use of proceeds, alongside enterprise sales expansion and entry into two new countries. The team is still small enough that a founding engineer is listed by name on the about page, so these are early, high-leverage seats rather than backfills.

How to actually get hired at Solace Care
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
Solace Care uses an ATS, but referrals still come first. Cold applications aren't ignored — they're just behind referrals, sourced candidates, and recruiter picks.
Who to contact at Solace Care
What to show them
Pick one UK or Dutch life carrier and build the actual entry case. Name the carrier, the product line Solace Care would attach to, who owns that decision internally, and how the regulatory and probate process in that market differs from Sweden's, because the post-loss administrative sequence is the product and it is country-specific. A one-page named-account plan for a market they have announced but not yet entered is worth more than any CV.
A cold email that works at Solace Care
What Solace Care screens for
Spintop Ventures led, Plug and Play's insurtech arm joined, and five former Nordic insurance CEOs and executives invested personally. That is not a mission-driven round, it is a distribution round: the money and the buyers are the same people, which compresses the sales cycle in a way most pre-seed companies would kill for. For a candidate, the window is specific and short. The company is expanding from three proven Nordic markets into the UK and Netherlands simultaneously while making its first senior product and commercial hires, which means whoever joins now owns a country or owns the product surface, not a slice of either. The traction is real enough that it is not a coin flip, 25,000 lives through partner distribution alone, but the org is small enough that titles are still unclaimed. If you have sold into or worked inside a European life carrier, you are close to the ideal candidate and there is currently no public job posting to compete against.
Tailor your CV to the specific Solace Care role rather than sending a general one. Applications that mirror the language of the job description clear automated filters at a materially higher rate.
Don't make these mistakes
Valtteri is a medical doctor who co-founded Medified and sold it to Mindler in 2022, and Josef was VP of Engineering at Mindler. They have already built and exited a Nordic digital health company together. Do not explain the healthtech market to them, and do not open with sympathy or a personal grief story as a credential, which is the most common and least useful approach this company receives. Also avoid pitching consumer growth tactics: they deliberately chose not to sell to consumers, and a plan built on B2C acquisition signals you missed the entire strategy. The other trap is treating this as a somber mission-only company. Valtteri's own framing is commercial: life insurance is a commodity and this is how a carrier differentiates. Match that register.
Mistakes that kill Solace Care applications
Don't send the same CV you sent everywhere else. At people it's obvious, and it's the fastest rejection there is.
