BrightStar Announces Investment to Advance Preventive Health Innovation
MILWAUKEE, WI — March 27, 2026 – BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation today announced its investment in Novir, a Milwaukee-based health technology company redefining how preventive healthcare is delivered at scale. Novir is transforming access to essential health services through a technology-enabled care model designed to meet patients where they are. Focused on prevention, accessibility, and operational simplicity, the company partners with senior living communities and employers to improve outcomes while reducing administrative burden. At the core of Novir’s model are two integrated platforms:
- InstaGUARD – A turnkey onsite vaccination and screening solution that increases immunization rates, removes barriers to care, and simplifies compliance.
- InstaCLEAR – A virtually proctored, saliva-based drug screening platform delivering fast, compliant results without traditional lab delays.
Together, these solutions enable organizations to proactively manage health risks and streamline critical clinical workflows through a single, scalable platform. “Preventive care is one of the most powerful tools we have to improve outcomes and reduce long-term costs, yet it remains difficult to deliver consistently,” said Alexander Kempe, CEO of Novir. “We’re solving that through our infrastructure designed to increase access by bringing care directly onsite and removing the barriers that prevent people from getting the services they need.”
Today, Novir serves more than 400 customers nationwide and is rapidly expanding. The BrightStar investment will accelerate growth by supporting entry into new markets, advancing the technology platform, and scaling operations ahead of a planned Series A financing later this year. “Novir is addressing a critical gap in healthcare delivery,” said Maximillian Hartounian, Business Manager of BrightStar. “Their model aligns with the future of healthcare – proactive, accessible, and built to reach underserved populations in a meaningful way.”
