heycare closes extended seed round over 4 million euros
The Munich-based scaleup heycare has successfully completed its extended seed round. Lead investor is Scalehouse Capital, co-investor Swiss Post Ventures. The fresh capital will be used to expand the team and further develop the platform.
Strategic investors support growth
Founders Anna Schneider and Julia Kahle emphasize that it was important for them to find partners who share the company's vision and can actively support its growth. Already profitable, heycare wants to use the funds specifically to meet the increased demand in companies for holistic employee assistance programs.
Focus on employee assistance programs
The heycare platform bundles care solutions for children, people in need of care and pets and supplements these with mental health services. These include training, webinars and anonymous 1:1 consultations with psychologists. Since the beginning of 2026, the Urban Sports Club sports and wellness network has also been integrated to provide corporate customers with a complete health offering.
Existing customer base
heycare's customers include Daimler Truck, Douglas, Vaillant and VW Retail. The company is responding to the growing demand for solutions that support employees in their daily lives and reduce downtime.
