At Walter Code, we believe the earliest stages of a startup’s journey are also the most critical. The ideation, the prototyping, the long nights of uncertainty, and the first feedback loops – all of it shapes the DNA of the future product. That’s why we focus on guiding founders through market needs and helping them build products with purpose. Whether it’s providing clarity during complex product decisions or delivering working tech that helps secure funding, our mission is to be the reliable partner startups need – especially at the beginning.
We’ve been proud to collaborate with startups through our partnership with HETCH, a Swedish innovation hub based in Helsingborg. HETCH provides tech startups with the tools, networks, and space to thrive, whether through mentorship, co-working, or international partnerships. Walter Code is honored to be one of HETCH’s key technical partners, offering product development support to emerging startups in their ecosystem.
In a recently recorded interview, two inspiring founders from HETCH-Mathilda and Apoomatic-shared their startup stories and reflected on their collaboration with Walter Code.
Mathilda: Making Math More Accessible with AI
Oscar Forsvall, founder of Mathilda, is on a mission to make math education more effective through the power of AI. In Sweden, like in many parts of the world, students often face a lack of personalized support in large classrooms. Oscar saw a gap-while AI has transformed many industries, education, especially math instruction, which had been left behind.
“I had a very pleasant experience with Walter Code. Deni and Sanel helped me think through how to structure the product and the AI elements and created some design assets that we’re using today,”says Oscar.
He credits the early conversations with Walter Code as formative. From initial concepts and wireframes to technical insights and design thinking, our team helped shape a product that is now entering its testing phase with promising feedback from users and stakeholders.
“Many of the ideas and sketches we developed with Walter Code are still part of the product today. They’re a great team-structured, supportive, and very talented designers,”he adds.
Apoomatic: Bridging the Gap Between Pharmacists and Doctors
For Olle, co-founder of Apoomatic, the journey began with a health tech challenge: streamlining communication between doctors and pharmacists. Initially working with limited resources, the team built a demo and began piloting, but they knew they needed a more robust product to scale.
That’s when HETCH recommended Walter Code.
“We reached out to Walter Code to help us build a better, more functional product that we could use both for sales and a second pilot. The collaboration was fantastic-daily check-ins, transparent communication, and a really dedicated team of developers,”shares Olle Andersson.
A Proven Track Record: Virotea
Our support for early-stage startups goes beyond HETCH. One of our most rewarding long-term collaborations has been with Virotea, a Swedish company using virtual reality to enhance elderly care and disability services.
“Walter Code helped us take our MVP to a fully developed product. They also provided valuable guidance, handled ongoing maintenance, and helped us make smart development decisions,”says the Founder & CEO of Virotea.
With a focus on immersive VR experiences and staff training simulations, Virotea needed both solid technical execution and a development partner who understood their mission. Walter Code provided end-to-end support-from scaling the product’s architecture to refining the user experience.
“What stands out most about Walter Code is their culture. They feel like part of our team, not just a vendor. Their developers care deeply about what we’re building.”
