Copenhagen-based Tiimo has raised an additional $1.6 million to expand its app, which supports people with neurodevelopmental disorders in their daily lives.
Neurodiverse people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other cognitive differences make up around 15% to 20% of the population, but there is still a lack of customized tools to improve the productivity and management of daily life for people who think differently.
Tiimo is on a mission to change this: the startup behind it are Helen Lassen Norem and Melissa Wurtz Azari, two women with ADHD who founded the company in 2015 with the goal of developing a neurodiversity toolkit.
Tiimo is a visual planning app that addresses executive function challenges common in people with neurodevelopmental disorders, including difficulties with focus, time management and goal setting.
To address this, the app offers an array of features ranging from visual timers, reminders, widgets and calendar integration to AI checklists and routine builders.

Tiimo also recently launched a learning platform, where users can access research-based content, expert advice, and courses on careers, health, and neurodiversity.
To date, the app boasts 500,000 users and 1 million downloads worldwide, and the startup plans to release a web-based solution in September, with key markets including the UK, US, Canada and Brazil.
With the new funding, Tiimo will focus on growing its user base in existing markets and expand its product offerings for the new Tiimo Learn subscription. The company has raised a total of $4.8 million in pre-Series A funding, following a $3.2 million seed round in 2022.
This latest funding round was led by Crowberry Capital and People Ventures, with participation from Sweden-based Inner Foundations.
Other notable European startups in this space include Denmark-based Lexsee and UK-based Inflow. As awareness grows, neuro-inclusive technology can help us to further embrace the fact that everyone is different, which is a wonderful thing.
