The operation is led by Singular, accompanied by German VC Heal Capital, a specialist in e-health. The three already existing shareholder funds, Cherry Ventures, Vorwerk Ventures, and Heartcore Capital, also participated.
Formel Skin, founded by Anton Kononov, Florian Semler, and Sarah Bechstein, is a Berlin-based startup specializing in the treatment of skin diseases. Using a digital platform, each patient completes a questionnaire and sends three photos, which are examined by a dermatologist. A personalized treatment is then developed and sent to the patient, based on a monthly subscription of €49 per month. Since its launch in Germany in June 2020, over 150,000 treatments have been sent.
With this funding round, Formel Skin will continue to hire more staff, expand its services, and launch in new countries.
