The Helper Bees recently announced the successful closure of a Series C funding round, with Centana Growth Partners leading the way. Existing investors Silverton Partners, Impact Engine, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and Alumni Ventures also contributed to this round, further solidifying their support for the company.
CEO Char Hu expressed excitement about this milestone, stating, “This funding round marks a significant moment for The Helper Bees and the aging-in-place movement. Our partnership with Centana will allow us to extend our reach and continue empowering seniors to live independently and securely in their own homes.”
Eric Byunn, a partner at Centana Growth Partners, highlighted the growing trend of individuals seeking services that enable older adults to age in place. He commended The Helper Bees for their role in streamlining independent aging solutions and adapting to market demands, such as the recent launch of a flexible spending card.
Hu emphasized that this funding will support the company’s expansion into new markets, including Medicaid, while also enhancing their partner network. Notably, Mutual of Omaha is listed as one of their partners, with their Mortgage division leading the market in Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) endorsements.
