"Redefining how we plan for life and find support through loss."
At Solace, we believe that no one should navigate loss alone. We founded the company to provide comfort, clarity, and practical support during one of life’s most difficult moments.
Solace was born from experiencing how hard loss can be, and how hard it is to get the support when it matters the most.

Our Story
Josef and Valtteri founded Solace in 2025 after seeing, both personally and professionally, how overwhelming the journey from end-of-life planning to loss support can be — and how poorly existing systems help people when they need it most.
Valtteri, a medical doctor turned into entrepreneur, had seen how grief and bureaucracy collide: people are emotionally shattered yet forced to navigate fragmented institutions, paperwork, and digital silos. Josef, formerly VP of Engineering at Mindler (a Swedish mental health scale-up), had spent years building secure, digital health platforms and knew technology could remove friction instead of adding to it.
Their curiosity about the end-of-life space began years earlier while working together at Mindler, surrounded by mental-health experts and deeply human stories. Through both personal experiences and professional exposure, they kept seeing the same pattern: loss is universal, but support is fragmented. The spark came — as many good ideas do — during one of their long after-work runs, when they asked:
"How do you tackle a challenge everyone experiences but few dare to address?
What began as curiosity soon became conviction. After speaking with hundreds of people — from terminally ill patients and their families to grief experts and everyday individuals — they realized what seemed like a niche was in fact one of society’s biggest unspoken pain points.
That’s why they built Solace Care — an AI-driven platform that brings clarity, guidance, and compassion to life’s hardest moments, helping people prepare, support each other, and move forward with confidence.
