Fellos funding news – Netherlands-based digital Fellos Raises €650K in Pre-Seed Round Funding

Fellos is the first digital clinic in the Netherlands focused on men’s health, offering easy access to high-quality care for men who are reluctant to visit a GP (general practitioner).

The platform connects patients with registered doctors and a Dutch pharmacy for consultations and prescriptions. It specializes in treatments for conditions like erectile dysfunction, hair loss, premature ejaculation, and acne.

The investment came from three sources: experienced pharmacy entrepreneurs, a well-known e-commerce entrepreneur, and Dutch Operator Fund I, a group of seven experienced entrepreneurs and angel investors.

Jeroen Bertrams, one of the initiators of Dutch Operator Fund I, mentions, “After assessing more than 250 pitches since the launch, Fellos is our first investment. The team has not only created a strong product but also responds to a clear need in the market. The rapid growth since the launch confirms that men need accessible healthcare for specific health problems, such as erectile dysfunction, hair loss, premature ejaculation and acne.”

The funding will help Fellos improve its platform and expand access to men’s health services.

In a statement translated from Dutch, Rob Smeitink, co-founder of Fellos, says, “The rapid growth of our healthcare platform proves that there is a demand among men for a place where they can go for care in an accessible way. To be ready for the future, we will use part of the investment to further develop our healthcare platform.”

GP Maurits Westenberg, who is participating in the new digital healthcare platform, says, “Given the increasing demand for care and the pressure on healthcare, digital clinics can be a huge solution for both patients and GPs for certain less complex healthcare needs.”

Co-founder Smeitink, adds, “We offer men who previously avoided their GP an alternative, in which the quality of care remains paramount. Fellos is also not a replacement for the current healthcare provision, but an addition. By using technology intelligently, we make primary care more accessible.”
