About War On Cancer
Established in 2017, War On Cancer is a Swedish-founded social impact company aimed at improving the lives of those impacted by cancer. The app is one of the world’s largest social cancer apps, enabling its members to connect with others impacted by cancer, share their stories, and provide a support system. The app also amplifies the patient voice in cancer research through in-app studies, making it easy for members to contribute their insights and improve the future of cancer care. The app is currently available in over 20 countries with offices in Stockholm and London.

War On Cancer is a social impact company with a long-term vision of making a tangible change in people’s lives. Our purpose is to ‘fill the void of unmet needs of those impacted by cancer’, something we’re able to build towards with the help of investors and partners. To date we’ve raised approximately €7M euro from angel investors who believe that we’re on the right track to solve one of the biggest societal cost burdens and barriers to qualitative lives associated with cancer as of today.

About the team

We are a growing and diverse team of 25 dedicated and experienced engineers, epidemiologists, researchers, data scientists, community managers, marketeers and musketeers. We’re spread all over the world, with our HQ in Stockholm, Sweden; the majority of our marketing team working from London, UK and with community management and tech-development presence in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Linga-Linga, Mozambique.

Over the coming years we expect to grow and double in size and as a startup anything can happen and more valuable than following your exact roadmap and plan is to have a strategy if things change outside of your control.

Ambition and success is rewarded greatly. Going home from work receiving a message from the other side of the world stating that your work has improved their life is hard to explain but it is a good feeling.

We listen to each other, share experiences, help each other evolve and together we reach our company goals.
