Heynannyly convinces eight new business angels

The company, which was launched in Munich, plans to expand into other regions in Germany from October with the help of its investors.

Having only launched in Munich in March of this year, Heynannyly plans to expand into other regions in Germany from October. The start-up has now announced that it is also relying on the support of eight business angels. The backers include Marco Adelt, co-founder and CEO of Clark, and former TUI and VW board member Elke Eller. The company has not disclosed how much capital the start-up has raised in total.

Heynannyly was founded by former Austrian professional ice hockey player Anna Schneider and Julia Kahle. Both are experienced recruiters. With their digital platform, they want to relieve parents of the problem of finding a trustworthy babysitter. To do this, they turn to their employers: companies buy the babysitting platform as a benefit and cover some or all of the costs for employees, allowing parents to book a babysitter flexibly, including specifically for homework supervision and for transport services such as picking up children from nursery or driving them to the sports club.

"A service like Heynannyly simply doesn't exist - but the demand is there. As a father of two children myself, I know how difficult it is to find a childcare provider you really trust," says Adelt about the start-up. Heynannyly will soon simplify the everyday lives of thousands of parents. "The B2B approach is simply smart."
