Storii, the self-proclaimed Facebook for Care, has recently launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs. It is seeking to raise £300,000 to continue growth and development of its mobile app. The company, which was founded in 2014, revealed it is aiming to “shake up” the UK care system by connecting families with their loved ones in care and enabling medical staff to record their work digitally.
“After falling ill with kidney failure and seeing reminiscence therapy first hand on his hospital ward, Founder Cameron Graham decided to build an app to help. The app developed over time into a tool that not only benefits those in care, but the care staff, their managers, and families too.”
Graham stated:
“With a worldwide ageing population, and an increasing demand for tech within the care sector, there is a real growing need for StoriiCare. We’re leading the way in modern reminiscence therapy. The care sector has strict regulatory bodies that require detailed records to be kept, which can lead to staff spending hours completing arduous paperwork. With StoriiCare, their paperwork is digitised and repetition reduced significantly, with staff saving on average 6 hours a week through our platform. We originally started off as a life story app solely for reminiscence, then after listening to feedback and requests from early clients, we realised there was so much more we could add to improve the quality of care provided.”
“When we visited California 2 months ago, we found care communities were in dire need of an improved way to record their care. There were iPads sitting in the nursing homes, but no purpose built care software to use with them. It’s a no brainer to start sales in California whilst at the same time expanding our sales in the UK.”
I’m delighted to see StoriiCare is opening a funding round on Seedrs. Cameron and his team are incredibly driven – disrupting the care sector is no easy task, but I believe StoriiCare and the team behind it are onto something big. I look forward to supporting the team and to an exciting and productive future.
“We are delighted to welcome StoriiCare onto Seedrs, and we wish Cameron and his team success in their crowdfunding campaign. We see the care market as one that is ripe for disruption, having already funded a number of businesses in this sector. We are thrilled they’ve chosen to work with us.”
