Kenbi to secure €7 Million in a seed round led by Redalpine with existing investors Heartcore, e.ventures and Partech participating.

Kenbi, a Berlin, Germany-based healthcare provider, announced securing a seed funding round of more than €7 Million ($8.5M).

The money was raised from investors led by Swiss VC Redalpine and including contributions from existing shareholders Heartcore, e.ventures and Partech.

The financing will be used to grow its care-teams, automate back-office processes and further develop the proprietary care and staff management app.

Kenbi, founded in 2019 by Clemens Raemy, Katrin Alberding (co-CEOs) and Bruno Pires, built a modern nursing service with outpatient care in Lower Saxony. The company operates through a proprietary app and tech stack, which help organise local ‘care teams’ that provide outpatient, at-home services, including some care covered by medical insurance, household help, advice and companionship. Their services include insurance authorized and covered medical care, household help, basic care, advice and companionship. In addition, Kenbi is known to offer expert help in the areas of diabetes, wound care and palliative care.

The Kenbi model stands apart from other outpatient care services, as it is ditching the hierarchies for self-managed teams, empowering caretakers through digitalisation, higher education and decision-making power within their local teams.

Kenbi has about 400 patients across Germany and previously raised a pre-seed funding round in 2019.
