Our story​

​

We have a bold vision. To build a society in which we all age with confidence. We want everyone who ages to feel confident this is a journey worth exploring, on their own terms.

Birdie emerged from the realisation of how much society was struggling with ageing, when our CEO and co-founder, Max, witnessed first-hand the decline of his grand-dad moved in a care home.

Home care is just the start of this journey. At Birdie, we plan to enhance how we age

 

Our investors

​

Backed by the world’s leading insurance group AXA and its start-up studio Kamet, we now have the unique opportunity to build the technology that will step change the home care industry and have a positive impact on the lives of millions of older adults and their families..
