Elsa Hyland

Angel Investor

Elsa Hyland is a Swedish angel investor, certified board member and startup adviser based in Stockholm, investing through her own company Elsa Hyland AB. She backs companies at early stage with health technology and impact among her focus areas, and her portfolio includes Meela, the Gothenburg company founded by Tiffany Boswell that matches people seeking therapy to the psychotherapists best suited to them. Her working background runs through sales, relations, financial technology and health technology, and she spent time in venture capital before investing on her own account, which shapes the advice she gives founders on investment readiness, on identifying which funds actually fit a given company, and on the practical side of raising money: the pitch, the negotiation and the relationship with an investor after the cheque clears. She has been named among the hundred leading angel and impact investors in the Nordics, and appears as a speaker and moderator at technology and health events including Arab Health, Bits and Pretzels, Health.tech and TechChill.
