‼️ UK in-home healthcare provider Cera raises $150M to expand its AI platform

Cera, a UK in-home healthcare provider, has raised $150 million in a mix of debt and equity to expand its AI-driven platform. This funding comes amid increasing pressure on public healthcare systems, particularly the NHS, which is struggling post-pandemic. The investment was led by funds affiliated with BDT & MSD Partners and Schroders Capital.

Cera's platform utilizes proprietary AI modeling to analyze patient data, which has reportedly led to significant reductions in hospitalizations, patient falls, and faster hospital discharges. The company claims to be EBITA-positive and free cash flow positive, indicating a shift towards self-sustainability. With this new funding, Cera aims to enhance its services and technology, positioning itself as a major player in the home healthcare space, covering approximately 30 million people in the UK. Cera's success highlights its role in alleviating pressure on the NHS while providing comprehensive home healthcare services.

🔸 Bench customers are now being forced to hand over their data or risk losing it, they say

Customers of the accounting startup Bench, which shut down on December 27, 2024, and was subsequently acquired by Employer .com, are facing challenges in accessing their financial data. To retrieve their data, customers are required to consent to terms that allow Employer .com to access it. Many customers are unhappy with this process, feeling coerced into agreeing to terms that may not be in their best interest.

Concerns have been raised about Employer .com’s lack of experience in accounting and tax services, and customers are frustrated by the perceived unfairness of the consent requirements and the company’s inadequate privacy policy. Some customers report difficulties in obtaining refunds for pre-paid services, further complicating the situation.
