What Kry does
Kry is a Stockholm-headquartered digital health company founded in 2015 that operates a hybrid primary care platform combining 24/7 video and chat-based consultations with a network of physical healthcare clinics. The platform serves patients in Sweden, France (where Kry operates 55 physical clinics), and Norway, and supports 30 languages with 350 doctors on the platform. Patients access care primarily through Kry's mobile app, with authentication handled via Sweden's BankID and clinical records integrated with the National Patient Overview (NPÖ); the app holds a 4.9/5 App Store rating and Kry has completed approximately 14 million healthcare meetings to date. Beyond acute consultations, Kry offers a digital weight loss program, a health checks platform, and corporate health services under the Kry Företag brand.
Kry generates revenue from three primary streams: per-visit patient fees (around 275 SEK per consultation), regional healthcare contracts with Swedish county regions, and B2B corporate health arrangements. In FY2023 Kry reported €188M in revenue against a pre-tax loss of €78M, a sharp improvement from a €155M loss in FY2022, with management targeting profitability in 2025. Capital allocation is heavily skewed toward generative AI, with roughly 100 developers reported to be working on GPT-related models — described in the input as the company's largest overhead — leveraging the 14M-meeting clinical dataset as a training corpus.
Strategic positioning centers on international expansion from the Nordic base: Kry acquired the UK's Livi in 2021 to anchor a UK footprint, and in mid-2024 announced a partnership with Klarna to distribute Livi's services to Klarna members, opening a B2B2C channel in the UK. The company has been funded by a $316M Series D (April 2021, CPP Investments and Fidelity), a $160M+ round (July 2022), and a €20M convertible note in 2024 led by HOOPP, with a 2022 restructuring and associated layoffs coinciding with a clear shift from hyper-growth to a path-to-profitability posture.

Kry competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Doktor.se: Swedish digital primary care competitor offering video consultations and physical clinics across Sweden on the same public-payer model as Kry. Most directly comparable on geography, service mix, and target customer.
- Min Doktor: Swedish telehealth provider delivering app-based GP consultations, closely overlapping Kry's digital-first primary care service. Direct competitor for Swedish digital patients and regional contracts.
- Babylon Health: UK-headquartered digital primary care and AI triage platform offering virtual GP consultations. Comparable in combining AI with virtual primary care, although it has scaled back consumer operations.
- Livi (pre-acquisition): Now a Kry subsidiary, but historically the closest direct competitor in Nordic digital GP and the platform now powering Kry's UK Klarna partnership. Useful as a benchmark for Kry's UK economics.
- Doctolib: France-based telehealth and appointment-booking platform operating in one of Kry's expansion markets. Comparable in combining patient booking, telehealth, and practice management software.
- Push Doctor: UK-based digital GP service offering on-demand video consultations with NHS and private patients. Comparable in the UK digital primary care market where Kry (via Livi) is now competing.
- HealthHero: European telehealth provider operating digital primary care and mental health services across multiple EU markets. Comparable in pan-European digital GP ambition and B2B2C distribution.
- Zava (previously DrEd): European online doctor and digital pharmacy service operating across UK, Germany, France, and Ireland. Comparable in cross-border DTC telehealth and prescription delivery.
Broad incumbents
- Teladoc Health: Global virtual care incumbent offering primary care, mental health, and chronic condition management. Comparable in telehealth product mix and employer/payer contracting, but operates at far greater scale across many geographies.
Emerging players
- Ada Health: AI-driven symptom assessment and triage platform used by health systems. Comparable to Kry's AI investment thesis and represents an alternative technology-led approach to digital primary care.
