Carewell Raises $5M in Seed Funding

Carewell, a Charlotte, NC-based advocate for caregivers and online supplier of home health products, closed over $5m in seed funding.

Backers included e.ventures, NextView Ventures, and Primetime Partners and a group of entrepreneurs and advisors including Chewy.com’s former VP of Growth Marketing, Jason Klinghoffer, and Dia Co founders, Nadia Boujarwah and Lydia Gilbert. In conjunction with the funding, e.ventures Founding Partner Mathias Schilling will join Carewell’s Board of Directors, while NextView Partner David Beisel will act as board observer.

The company intends to use the funds to expand its expert-vetted product offerings, simplify ordering, and develop its educational resources.
