Berlin, 16.04.2020 — The venture capital firm Project A, with more than 100 employees in Berlin, Munich, London and Stockholm, is now voluntarily assuming all costs for online doctor consultations.

"The current situation with the COVID-19 outbreak requires all of us to stay at home and respect the restrictions. As an employer of more than 100 people throughout Europe, we therefore see it as our responsibility to ensure that our employees can follow these guidelines, even in a case of illness", says Uwe Horstmann, partner and managing director of Project A.

One focus of Project A's work and investment is the future of technology in the health sector – or digital health for short. The telemedicine provider KRY has been part of the portfolio since 2016. With more than 1.6 million video consultation hours carried out, KRY is the European market leader in the field of digital doctor visits.

"With KRY as a telemedicine partner, we can provide our employees with fast access to a doctor via video chat. Via app, services such as issueing a sick note or a prescription can then be displayed digitally," continues Uwe Horstmann.
