Cera Care, a London, UK-based home care startup, raised $70m in funding.
The equity and debt financing round was led by KairosHQ alongside investors including Yabeo, Guinness Asset Management and a family office based in New York.
The company, which has raised $90m in total funding to date, intends to use the funds to nationally roll-out the SmartCare technology and analytics platform and to acquire a number of businesses in home healthcare.
