Swiss startup Eldy.ch has secured CHF 400,000 in seed funding to improve the well-being of elderly individuals in Switzerland through AI-powered smart companion matching. This investment, led by WeBuild Ventures, will support Eldy's expansion and strengthen its ability to help Swiss families find the ideal companion for their elderly loved ones.
Switzerland’s elderly care crisis is growing. Over 1.7 million people are already over 65, rising to 2.2 million by 2030. Loneliness isn't just emotional—it raises the risk of dementia by 50% (PMC), with 34% of senior adultsalready feeling isolated. Meanwhile, family members caring for elderly relatives face chronic stress, harming their health, rest, and social lives (ResearchGate).
Eldy.ch addresses these challenges by providing families with a reliable and structured way to identify and manage dedicated companions who offer emotional support, assistance in daily life, and meaningful human connection for their elderly loved ones.
Traditional solutions are either too expensive, too impersonal, or lack flexibility. Eldy.ch bridges this gap by offering compatible companionship, ensuring elders receive personalized assistance and emotional support in their own homes.
Eldy.ch’s proprietary smart matching system uses AI to match families with the right companion based on personality, language skills, experience, and specific support needs. This data-driven approach not only enhances compatibility but also reduces turnover, providing stability and peace of mind for both elders and their families. The platform ensures that each match is optimized for long-term success, fostering meaningful connections between elders and their live-in companions.
"This funding marks a major milestone in our vision to make live-in elderly care accessible, reliable, and deeply personal for Swiss families. Our smart matching technology ensures that every elder finds the right companion, creating a win-win situation for all involved." – said Cristian Andriesei Co-Founder & CEO of Eldy.ch
