SUMMARY

  • Vilnius-based Pulsetto, a HealthTech startup focused on using vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for stress relief, mental resilience, and better sleep, has raised €2 million in funding from Scalewolf, a tech accelerator and VC fund in Lithuania.
  • Pulsetto, founded in 2021 by Povilas Sabaliauskas and Vitalijus Majorovas, offers a scientifically-backed VNS device to help users manage stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

This partnership marks a key step as Pulsetto's technology moves beyond wellness and into defense, potentially helping soldiers and frontline workers manage stress and mental fatigue.

Povilas Sabaliauskas, CEO and Co-founder of Pulsetto said, “The modern battlefield isn’t just about physical endurance–it’s about mental resilience. Stress, anxiety, and burnout pose as much of a risk to military personnel as physical fatigue. Our technology helps individuals reset their nervous system, and maintain peak cognitive performance,”.

It’s hands-free, wearable device uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate the vagus nerve, helping the body shift from stress to relaxation.

The company recently reached a €20 million valuation after raising €400k on Lithuanian Shark Tank and being featured in a Netflix documentary.

It’s next goal is to help military and security forces improve mental endurance. The device, controlled via a mobile app, helps soldiers, first responders, and professionals stay focused and resilient.

Scalewolf, working with the Lithuanian Ministry of Economy and Innovation, supports technologies for both commercial and defense use. Pulsetto was chosen for investment due to its combination of hardware, software, and medical technology.

Edvinas Kerza, Managing Partner at Scalewolf said, “Pulsetto is addressing one of the most overlooked challenges in defense: mental endurance. We invest in startups that solve real-world problems, and the demand for psychological resilience solutions in the military is undeniable. Especially seeing what’s happening in Ukraine still to this day. Soldiers, first responders, and security personnel operate under extreme stress every day. Pulsetto’s ability to help them recover faster and stay focused makes it a game-changer,”.

It explains that soldiers, first responders, and security personnel face extreme stress and pressure. They have to make quick decisions in dangerous situations, and the constant exposure to combat, emergencies, and long deployments can affect both their bodies and minds.

Sabaliauskas said, “Military readiness isn’t just about firepower–it’s about the people behind it. Our mission is to help soldiers recover faster, stay sharp, and sustain resilience under extreme conditions,”

This partnership highlights the growing need for dual-use technologies—innovations that improve both public health and national security, according to Pulsetto.

Kerza said, “We don’t just invest in companies—we help shape the future. Pulsetto’s impact on both everyday wellness and military resilience makes it an ideal partner for us. We believe in solutions that strengthen human endurance, and Pulsetto has the potential to redefine how we approach recovery and performance,".

Sabaliauskas said, “In today’s world, endurance wins battles–whether on the front lines, in the boardroom, or beyond. The future of performance starts with a clear mind,”.
