Founded in 2022 by Julia Kahle and Anna Schneider, heycare operates as a business-to-business (B2B) HR tech startup. The company has quickly grown to serve over 450 employers, including prominent names in the DACH region. In March 2026, heycare successfully closed an extended seed funding round, raising approximately 4 million Euros. This investment was led by Scalehouse Capital, with additional participation from Swiss Post Ventures, and previous investors such as allygatr, CK Venture Capital, and Ad Ventures.

The co-founders, Julia Kahle and Anna Schneider, are driven by a shared vision to establish modern care structures within companies, enabling employees to thrive both professionally and personally.
