BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation has invested in Novir, a Milwaukee-based health technology company focused on preventive healthcare delivery. The pre-Series A startup operates two integrated platforms: InstaGUARD, providing onsite vaccination and screening services, and InstaCLEAR, offering virtually proctored saliva-based drug screening. Founded to improve healthcare accessibility, Novir partners with senior living communities and employers to deliver preventive care services directly onsite. The company currently serves over 400 customers nationwide. The investment will support Novir's expansion into new markets, technology platform development and operational scaling ahead of a planned Series A round later this year. CEO Alexander Kempe said the company aims to increase access by removing barriers that prevent people from receiving essential health services.
