CHRYSTAL CAPITAL INTRODUCES FAMILY OFFICES AND UHNWI CO-INVESTORS INTO CERA CARE ALONGSIDE GUINNESS VENTURES
Chrystal Capital Partners LLP (“Chrystal”), a Mayfair-based corporate finance and investment house, is pleased to announce that it has brought co-investors from its family office and UHNWI network into Cera Care (“Cera”); a digital-first healthcare-at-home service delivering care, nursing, telehealth and repeat prescription services in people’s homes, via technology.
The funds, invested via a UK nominee structure, will be managed by Guinness Ventures (“Guinness”), an existing investor in Cera Care having invested via the Guinness EIS fund. Other notable investors in this round include; Credo Ventures, Kairos, Jane Street Capital and Schroders Capital.
“We believe that there is significant value to be had for our network to invest in businesses of scale, alongside institutional capital. There is a gap in the market where existing investors, for a variety of reasons, cannot participate in follow-on rounds. We have a focused list of current opportunities and would welcome conversations with those that find the idea of a low cost entry point, into top tier opportunities, alongside ‘Blue Chip’ operators, appealing.”
“We are pleased to announce that we have now closed this round of financing. Thanks to the help of Chrystal we can continue to support Cera Care in bringing their vision of in-home care to life. Chrystal were instrumental in taking much of the strain of the marketing and deal transaction processes.”
About Cera
Cera, founded in 2015, provides elderly and vulnerable communities with care in their own homes, and allows families to arrange the care. As one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, they are redefining healthcare by moving more and more services out of hospitals and into people’s own homes. Their smart, digital technology leverages data and machine learning to empower those providing care, whilst improving outcomes for those receiving it.

For those receiving care at home Cera are able to monitor their condition digitally, predicting and preventing changes in their condition and responding to any deterioration 30-fold faster than traditional methods, reducing hospitalisations, and keeping people well in their homes.
