Ode

Ode is building the world’s simplest solution for therapeutic music. We combine a smart speaker with a single-knob interface and AI-driven curation to reduce anxiety, agitation, and depression in people living with dementia. Founded after CEO Guttorm saw music’s impact through his grandmother’s dementia, Ode exists to remove the time, technology, and cost barriers that keep personalised music out of everyday care. Today, getting it right typically means specialist mapping, hours of playlist work, and daily device hassle, which caregivers and families can’t sustain. Ode makes it practical: curate in minutes, then play instantly with one knob—so the right music is there when it’s needed, without adding workload.
