Kara Connect, founded in 2015 in Reykjavik by Thorbjorg Vigfusdottir, offers a software platform that serves as a virtual office connecting clients with healthcare and special-education professionals via secure video conferencing. The platform also provides therapists with tools to update their practices, scale services, and reach clients who cannot attend on-site. Kara charges therapists a set monthly fee or a tailored quote, while clients pay a small transaction fee per session. The company reports connecting over 200 therapists with 1,200 clients through 11,000 video sessions and has been recognized as a finalist in national and Nordic awards. Kara has expanded into Denmark, plans to scale to Sweden, and is targeting the UK, Germany and the broader global telehealth market. The team positions the product as a time- and cost-effective way to increase access to therapy and special-education services.
