Heynannyly secures EUR 1.6 million in oversubscribed seed round

The 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 life.

Munich - Heynannyly offers companies the opportunity to subsidize childcare hours via an HR dashboard and thus support the compatibility of work and family life. Until now, this non-cash benefit of €600 per employee per year has not been used due to administrative hurdles.

As a start-up, we can offer tailor-made and individual solutions for all industries and requirements and implement them quickly.

Anna Schneider, Co-Founder Heynannyly

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

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 the hkp group) and Dirk Muhndorf (Partner at Egon Zehnder) are significantly involved in the completed seed round. Hamburg-based investor Mathias Mudra is also involved. The German/Austrian impact investor Czernin - Godulla - Sellier has already joined in for the planned market entry in Austria.

Children and parents in need of care should not mean a career break. By subsidizing the costs on the part of the employer, people with lower wage levels can also access our high-quality and tested care.

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

Heynannyly's customers already include companies from various sectors and of various sizes, including RTL, Böhringer Ingelheim, Codecentric, TÜV Süd and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. Deutsche Bahn was also recently won over by the start-up. The Munich-based startup was named Startup of the Year at the Founder Summit last year, just a few months after it was founded in March 2022. The founders were also able to impress prominent investors with their idea at the 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.
