Documented cause
Romanian telehealth startup EasyCare raised approximately €2M from local angel investors and Early Game Ventures to build on-demand doctor consultations. The platform failed to navigate Romania's fragmented medical licensing regulations, which required separate contracts with each county's medical authority. By 2021, with fewer than 5,000 active users and cash exhausted, the founding team dissolved the company without a formal announcement.
Lesson
“Regulatory complexity in healthcare requires a dedicated compliance strategy before scaling, not after.”
