Heynannyly secures EUR 1.6m in oversubscribed seed round

B2B HR tech startup Heynannyly has raised €1.6 million in an oversubscribed seed round. With their portal for nannies, founders Anna Schneider and Julia Kahle offer a solution for balancing work and family.

Munich - Heynannyly offers companies the opportunity to financially subsidize childcare hours via an HR dashboard and thus support the compatibility of work and family. Until now, this monetary benefit of 600€ per employee:in and year was not used due to administrative hurdles.

As a startup, we can offer customized solutions for all industries and requirements and implement them quickly.

Anna Schneider, Co-Founder Heynannyly

Heynannyly's existing investors include HR Tech VC allygatr and eight business angels, including Dr. Marco Adelt (Co-Founder and Board Member of CLARK) and Dr. Elke Eller (former HR Director of VW and TUI). Other investors include Olav Sehlbach, Cornelia Hoppe, Dr. Jens Wehrmann, Maren Wagener, Matthias Knälmann and Dirk Bruckmann.

In the completed seed round, a Berlin-based family office with a focus on HR, the Hamburg-based multi-corporate investor NCA, and well-known investors from the HR management sector such as Michael Kramarsch (Managing Partner of hkp group) and Dirk Muhndorf (Partner at Egon Zehnder) are significantly involved. Hamburg-based investor Mathias Mudra is also involved. For the planned market entry in Austria, the German/Austrian impact investor Czernin - Godulla - Sellier has already joined.

Children and parents in need of care should not mean a kink in one's career. By subsidizing the costs on the part of the employer, even people with lower wage levels can access our qualitative and tested care.

Julia Kahle, Co-Founder Heynannyly

Heynannyly's portal not only offers childcare solutions, but has also expanded care support for senior:in to cover the entire life cycle of employees:in. Companies benefit from the regular and short-term relief of their employee:s and the reduction of downtime. In addition, this increases employee satisfaction as a return on investment. At the same time, Heynannyly relieves the companies' HR teams and offers initial consulting and vacation programs.

Heynannyly's customers already include companies of various industries and sizes, including RTL, Böhringer Ingelheim, Codecentric, TÜV Süd and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. Deutsche Bahn was also recently won over by the startup. The Munich-based startup was awarded Startup of the Year at last year's Founder Summit, just a few months after its founding in March 2022. In addition, the founders were able to convince prominent investors of their idea at OMR (Online Marketing Rockstars).

With the successful seed financing round and the expansion of the portfolio to include senior care, Heynannyly is strengthening its market position. Market entry in Austria is planned for fall 2023.
