Berlin-based Patronus raised 11 million EUR in a funding round led by 3TS Capital Partners, with participation from Grazia Equity and existing investors including Singular, Burda Principal Investments, Adjacent, NAP, and UVC Partners. Founded in 2020 by Ben Staudt, the company develops a digital safety platform for older adults built around a smartwatch and family app. The funding will be used to expand its position in the mobile emergency response market and to build additional features for family connectivity, wellbeing, and an AI-powered companion.
