Equity To be negotiated

What would you do if you could help 1 billion people? 

Do you want to be a part of a journey where we’re doing a full frontal attack on a condition that is troubling millions of people globally, every day? 

Do you want your work to be part of scientific research aimed at helping more people, faster, making our knowledge more accessible for those who need it? 

We want to help every person with a smartphone that is struggling with depression. Globally. 

Depresjonsappen’s founding team consist of idea owner and founder psychiatrist Dr. Torbjørn Tvedten, along with co-founder and CEO Axel Holene. Our MVP Depresjonsappen (The Depression App) has already helped thousands of people, and we are working on further developing the product into an AI for cognitive therapy.  

Our founding team has the medical, pedagogical and entrepreneurial expertise to build this, and we need technical competence to complete our mission. 

Are you our new founding tech team member? 

We offer you a fair share of our company, with everything that comes along with it – blood, sweat and beers, and also responsibility, opportunity, fun and engagement. We know that founding a business is really hard work and that motivation will vary. This is why we choose to carry each other through tough times, and celebrate our successes and failures as a team. We are low on thresholds and high on generosity. You’re free to be yourself, and we want you to! 

…unless you’re a monster. Then please move on to one of our competitors. 

The team consists of Torbjørn and Axel. Torbjørn is working as a psychiatrist with people who really struggle. Axel is an engineer by education, and used to work as a teacher with teenagers that needed structure, but also support, passion and aspiration. We bring these aspects into our daily work and embrace values such as openness, trustworthiness, integrity and inclusion. 

In our team, we collaborate with people, not CVs. Nevertheless, given our current tech stack and challenges ahead, it is an advantage – though not a prerequisite – if you are experienced with Android or iOS app development, and/or platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP. 

It is, however, a prerequisite that you consider yourself to be a pretty decent programmer.

Working at
Fourth Wave Therapeutics

At Fourth Wave, we're bringing Data Science to Therapy by building the first and next generation of digital depression treatment. Before Covid-19, an estimated 10 % of the world's population were suffering from depression or depressive symptoms. This number is increasing across the globe. In some countries there is a heavy stigma associated with mental health, while other regions have limited access to human therapists. The cost of traditional therapy is often high. There are vast amounts of people that could benefit from digital treatment of their symptoms. We are a founding team covering the fields of psychiatry, pedagogy, product development and entrepreneurship. We are collaborating with universities to perform scientific research on our work, and are looking to the world as our target market. Our MVP has already helped thousands of people, and we’re just getting started.
