BACKGROUND ON BRAIN+
Brain+ is a Copenhagen-based startup founded by entrepreneurs from Crytek, IO Interactive, Playdead,
The Boston Consulting Group, and the health tech industry. Our vision is to help people realize their
brain potential by creating effective and engaging brain training services. We want to perfect your mind
and protect your brain.
Brain+ is funded by professional European Venture Investors, and headquartered in the vibrant creative
heart of Copenhagen, Holmen - close to culture, entertainment and shopping, water and beautiful
nature.
BRAIN+ MISSION
Brain+ was started with a mission to package the latest insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical
tools for the mainstream population, and for people with brain injury or suffering from neurodegenerative
diseases. In short, Brain+ is about mental health, mental capacity, brain fitness, and improved life quality, wrapped
in a fun and engaging product.
The core product of Brain+ is its mobile brain training platform that utilizes specialized computer-exercises,
shaped as games, to train, strengthen, and restore important brain functions regardless of the users’ age.
The primary need the product fulfils is to improve the brain function and life quality of the user. Some key user
groups are healthy people seeking to boost their mental capacity, and elderly people seeking to prevent or slow
mental decline due to ageing, or people who have suffered brain damage and are in need of restoring their
functioning to a normalized level. To date, the product contains exercises targeted at Attention, Memory,
Planning, and Spatial Orientation. It uses advanced algorithms that precisely adapts to the users performance.
Brain+ collaborates with leading scientists at Copenhagen University to test and develop the optimal training
product, and to ensure that it is always based on the newest scientific insights. Large scale science studies are
conducted as key part of the Brain+ project, and aims to reveal some of the basic mechanisms for brain plasticity
and brain training.
