Dtablet has completed a funding round and brought on a group of angel investors with solid experience in entrepreneurship, design, hardware and finance. Several of them have built and sold companies themselves, and they know what it takes to bring a physical product from idea to market.
Dtablet is developing Dtablet Week, a smart pill organizer with an app that reminds users to take their medication, tracks intake and adapts to their daily routine. The company now has working prototypes based on the final product design.
“We’ve brought on people who have made this journey before. They’ve built hardware, designed products and sold companies. That expertise is at least as valuable as the capital,” says founder and CEO Hallgrim Bjørvik.
The investors
Thomas Ulleberg is the founder of CPS, where he developed and launched a hardware product before the company was sold to Norbit. He knows the path from prototype to a finished product on the market.
“For me, investing in Dtablet is first and foremost about learning and helping to build something meaningful. The company addresses a clear need in the market, and I believe the solution has the potential to make everyday life easier and safer for a lot of people,” says Ulleberg.

Carl-André Nørstebø is one of the co-founders of EGGS Design, which was later acquired by Sopra Steria. He has extensive experience in industrial design and product development.
“People first! I have great faith in Hallgrim and the team he has put together. What I’m truly passionate about is turning products associated with illness and stigma into something so attractive that people actually want to use them. Maybe even feel proud of them,” says Nørstebø.

Kim Frode Solheim and Jostein Sylta come from Econ Sunnfjord, the accounting firm Dtablet uses. They know the company well from the inside.
“When the people who see our numbers every month also choose to invest, that’s a vote of confidence we truly appreciate,” says Bjørvik.
Chair and founder increase their stakes
Chair of the board Bjørn Åge Brandal and founder and CEO Hallgrim Bjørvik, who were both existing shareholders, also took part in the round with new capital.

The road ahead, and room for more investors
Dtablet plans to raise further capital during 2027 for production and the technical and commercial launch.
“We want to bring on more angel investors and investor networks who’d like to join us on this journey. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to have a chat and present Dtablet as an investment case,” says Bjørvik.
