About Nelly

At Nelly, we streamline practice management and eliminate paper chaos. Our digital solutions include patient check-in, real-time document handling, and efficient billing with digital invoices and factoring, all accessible via smartphones. Backed by top investors like Lakestar, GFC, b2venture, and Motive Partners, we aim for rapid, sustainable growth.

Europe has over 1 million medical practices helping millions of patients daily. Small improvements in patient handling can significantly impact society. However, most practices still rely on paperwork and manual processes. We’re on a mission to change that!

We believe medical practitioners should focus on treating patients, not administrative tasks. Our solutions let practices concentrate on patient care, while digital documents and invoices are handled with no time
