4impact leads €2.1M round in OurMind to protect care professionals from burnout
OurMind, the AI platform helping hospitals deliver good care with the same number of people, closes a €2.1M round led by 4impact capital.
Amsterdam, 11 June 2026
OurMind today announced the closing of its €2.1M round, led by 4impact capital with a significant contribution from a group of general practitioners and medical specialists. The company will use the capital to scale its platform and keep pace with growing demand from hospitals.
Waiting lists are growing, doctors are working overtime, and administrative pressure keeps rising, eroding job satisfaction among healthcare staff. A quarter of young doctors report burnout symptoms, according to a study by De Jonge Specialist. The structural pressure behind these numbers is stark: one in seven workers in the Netherlands works in healthcare today, and the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) expects that figure could reach one in four by 2040.
Not about AI, but about good care
OurMind started with Notes, AI software that converts conversations during consultations into medical documentation. The platform is used by more than 300 general practices and 14 hospitals, and this investment will expand it with applications for consultation preparation, administrative support, and patient communication.
Paul Koning, founder of OurMind and a former orthopedic surgeon, says:
“This investment enables us to scale up and expand our platform so that we can meet, and continue to meet, demand from hospitals. Ultimately, this is not about AI, but about how we can continue to deliver good care with the same number of people.”
The case for acceleration is being made from inside hospitals. Bart Driesen, cardiologist and CMIO at Maasziekenhuis Pantein, points to waiting lists his teams can no longer absorb and to the hours clinicians lose to documentation.
Bart Driesen, cardiologist and CMIO at Maasziekenhuis Pantein, adds:
“Ultimately, you need an AI layer across the entire hospital. Doctors currently spend two to three hours a day preparing consultations, often at home in the evening. If AI can largely take that over, it changes our working day.”
Why we invested
For 4impact capital, which backs software companies addressing societal themes such as energy, sustainability, and digitalization, OurMind is our first step into healthtech.
Victor Straatman, Partner at 4impact.vc, says:
“AI in healthcare has moved beyond the curiosity phase. Very promising to see how willing many hospitals are to adopt this new type of technology.We help the founders not only with growth capital, but also with knowledge, network, and guidance, and we believe in OurMind’s vision and in the team that is in place.”
The goal: fewer burnouts
For OurMind, the platform is ultimately a tool to protect the people who deliver care. By taking on documentation and administrative load, it aims to preserve job satisfaction and reduce burnout among healthcare staff, an outcome hospital boards are increasingly recognising as cheaper than the cost of doing nothing: staff absence, lengthening waiting lists, and people leaving the profession altogether.
