🐦 About Birdie
At Birdie, we’re reimagining care for older adults. We’re building the technology that powers the future of home healthcare, empowering care teams with tools to deliver better, more dignified care, and enabling older people to thrive in their own homes for longer. Our all-in-one solution powers millions of care visits every month, equipping care providers with the tools they need to deliver exceptional, efficient care.
We’re not here to tinker at the edges. We’re here to radically transform a broken system.
That’s why we’ve built an all-in-one platform that supported over
30 million care visits in 2023 and
more than 60 million in 2024 and we continue to grow our impact. We’re scaling fast, but staying true to our purpose. That’s why we’re proud to be a
B Corp, using business as a force for good
Founded in 2017, Birdie is backed by world-class investors like Index Ventures, Sofina and Omers. In 2023, we ranked
#6 in the Deloitte Fast 50, making us one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK. You can check out more about our impact and recognition here.
But speed isn’t the point.
Impact is.
