From the founder
"We believe the future of care for older people should be helping them to live at home for as long as possible through the delivery of personalised and preventative care. Birdie is already the partner of choice for caregivers up and down the UK, and this funding will help us rapidly increase the number we partner with and what we can offer them – meaning more people benefiting from more affordable, quality care. We’re proud of our mission and the values we embody to pursue it."
Max Parmentier
Co-founder and CEO at Birdie
Investor perspective
"Our ageing society and increasing healthcare costs require us to rethink the way we care for frailer populations like the elderly. Technology gives us the tools, as the care sector has remained widely paper-based and is ripe for disruption."
