Timthe planning and learning app for dissidents, today announced the closing of a $1.6 million funding round, bringing the total amount raised in its pre-Series A round to $4.8 million.
Despite growing awareness, the unique experiences of neurodiverse individuals—those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other cognitive differences—often remain underrepresented. An estimated 15 to 20 percent of the world’s population is neurodiverse, including 1 to 2 percent with diagnosed autism, 5 percent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and up to 10 percent with dyslexia.
The app features a customizable visual planner designed by and for neurodiverse people, as well as the recently launched learning platform Tiimo Learn. The new platform offers specialized educational content, expert advice, and research-backed tools to help neurodiverse users manage their daily lives.
Based in Copenhagen, Tiimo was founded in 2016 by Helene Lassen Nørlem and Melissa Würtz Azari – who is neurodivergent herself – together with a team of 20.
Since announcing its seed funding round two years ago, Tiimo’s user base has more than doubled in the last two years and will have over 50,000 paying subscribers as of August 2024, of which more than 3 in 4 identify as neurodivergent. The app is growing in popularity worldwide and already has over 500,000 free users worldwide.
Crowberry Capital and People Ventures led the round with additional investment from Sweden-based Inner Foundations.
Founders Helene Lassen Nørlem and Melissa Würtz Azari, who is neurodivergent herself, both ensure that the app meets the individual needs of its users.
The team plans to use the additional funding to advance its mission to transform the lives of the world’s one billion people with ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent profiles.
The short-term focus is on User growth, scaling of existing markets and product expansion for the new Tiimo Learn subscription.
