Swedish digital health startup Kry, which offers a telehealth service (and software tools) to connect clinicians with patients for remote consultations, last raised just before the pandemic hit in Western Europe, netting a €140M Series C in January 2020.

The 2020s are on course to become the decade of the special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), also known as blank check or shell companies. SPACs are set to outpace IPOs once again in 2021, after a record year that saw SPACs mature from a once obscure method of going public to a rabid, flavor-of-the-month frenzy amidst both institutional and retail investors.
The year of COVID-19 saw 227 SPACs top traditional IPOs for the first time in history, raising $76 billion, compared to 67 billion raised from traditional IPOs. The first two months of 2021 have so far generated 144 SPACs, raising $44 billion. Digital Health has certainly ridden the recent SPAC wave, with yet a few more splashes yet to come.
