Founded in 2018 in Sabadell (Catalonia), Qida operates in a strategic sector of home care for seniors, in a country facing a very rapid aging of its population. Qida started as a platform to connect families and home caregivers.
Today, the startup extends its offering to:
- home care and support: on-time interventions, 24-hour presence, weekends, mobility aids, cognitive stimulation, etc.
- a marketplace of complementary services (orthopedics, physiotherapy, speech therapy) via selected partners.
- increased use of technology: monitoring, mobile application for families, coordination between social services and health, and articulation between public-private systems.
Expansion and acquisition strategy
Qida is currently active in several autonomous communities: Catalonia, Madrid, Basque Country, Navarra, Valencian Community, Galicia, Asturias. The company plans to expand its scope to other regions only when it can guarantee “to be number 1 in quality in this new market”. The €37 million round (announced at the beginning of November 2025) is part of this dynamic: the fundraising will be devoted to organic and external growth, technology and team strengthening.
Figures and objectives
In 2024, Qida claims to have supported more than 20,000 families. It sets itself the objective of achieving more than 100,000 people served within a few years. The model aims to consolidate its position on the Spanish market through the integration of numerous structures (Qida has acquired nine service providers in the last three years according to the specialist press).
Desired technological growth
The technological dimension is conceived as a means of moving from a “reaction model” to a “prevention model”. Qida plans to invest in artificial intelligence, digital monitoring tools and better coordination between the health and social worlds: “the care model will be more proactive, preventive and integrated”. The announced arrival of profiles like Daniel Alonso (ex-CPO of Glovo) at the head of product development illustrates this orientation.
Issues and challenges
- Market segmentation : home care for seniors is a market with high potential but very fragmented, with significant regulatory requirements at the regional level. Qida will have to continue its territorial expansion while maintaining a high level of quality.
- Public-private coordination : the company already collaborates with the Catalan government and other public actors, but integration into national health/care systems requires mastering both the medical and social dimension.
- Technology & data : moving from a traditional service model to a “tech-enabled” model involves building data sets, implementing robust AI and guaranteeing the security of personal data, while maintaining a human approach to care.
- Scalability and culture : the ambition for rapid growth (personnel, acquisitions, national coverage) must remain consistent with the social mission. Maintaining high satisfaction and a strong culture will be key.
Qida announces the closing of a financing 37 million euros. This tour, led by Quadrille Capital and co-led by Asabys Partners And Cofides (via his Social Impact Fund – FIS), becomes the largest fundraising ever in the social impact sector in Spain.
The operation also brings together Endeavor Catalyst (United States) And the Català Institute of Finance (ICF)while historical investors Kibo Ventures, Creas, Ship2B Ventures and several individual investors from the health, social and insurance sectors have renewed their support. The capital will be allocated to three priorities: growth, technology and team building.
With this lifting, Qida strengthens its position as pioneer of Spanish “CareTech”at the crossroads of health, prevention and social innovation, while pursuing its ambition to help more people live longer and better at home.
