What Is Solace Care?
Solace Care is a digital end-of-life platform that helps families navigate bereavement administration and plan ahead, distributed through insurance companies and employers across the Nordic countries. Founded in January 2025 in Stockholm, Solace Care is the first bereavement support platform purpose-built for the Nordic market.
What problem does Solace Care solve?
The loss of a family member involves far more than a financial insurance claim. Families face overwhelming administrative burdens during their most vulnerable moments. Research shows families spend 400+ hours on death administration per loss across more than 40 institutions: notifying banks, closing accounts, handling estate inventory, filing tax returns, and claiming pension benefits.
Only 28% of European insurance companies provide any bereavement support alongside their claims services, yet 89% of policyholders expect holistic support beyond financial payouts. Solace Care bridges this gap.
Who uses Solace Care?
Solace Care serves insurance companies and employers as B2B clients, who offer the platform to policyholders and employees. End users range from young adults doing proactive planning to people actively navigating a loss.
Where does Solace Care operate?
Solace Care operates across Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The platform is fully localized in Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian. The company is headquartered in Stockholm and selected for InsurTech Europe Batch 14.
How is Solace Care different from competitors?
The closest comparison is Empathy, a US bereavement platform that raised $72M+ but operates only in North America. Solace Care is the European equivalent: purpose-built for Nordic regulatory systems, languages, and culture, distributed through insurers and employers.
