Understanding the investment opportunity
Maternify was born from a conviction: that caring for the most important asset we have as human beings (having children) is a duty. Maternify helps make having children easier and more manageable.
Founded by Carla Quintana, a midwife and health communicator known on social media as @matronaparami (around 60,000 followers on Instagram), and after more than a decade supporting thousands of women in different countries in both hospitals and private and insurance settings, Carla observed a reality: the vast majority of mothers face the same problems and feel neglected and uninformed exactly when they need medical and emotional support the most.

In this context, countries with public healthcare systems that provide postpartum home support see improvements in care quality:
- 3 times lower incidence of postpartum depression
- 4 times lower risk of hospital readmission for mother and baby
- 6 times lower risk of early breastfeeding abandonment

The structural shortcomings of most healthcare systems, combined with the lack of resources and knowledge in companies to support employees during parenthood, leave families in a vulnerable situation that directly impacts their health and well-being and, therefore, makes having children a secondary life aspiration.
Maternify aims to redefine the standard of maternal and child care and create more equitable and healthy work environments.
Through its network of specialized healthcare professionals and leveraging technology, it provides support with home, online, and in-person consultations as well as specific courses and training for the different stages of parenthood.

Real innovation with impact across multiple sectors
- Maternify is the first digital family health clinic that combines healthcare, training, and workplace wellbeing on a single platform. In-person, online, and at-home care, along with specialized training for employees and parents, directly impacts the parenting experience, work-life balance, and the healthcare system as a whole. Among other benefits, this helps mothers continue breastfeeding longer, return to work feeling supported by their company, and reduces strain on the healthcare system by providing home care, while generating higher revenue for healthcare professionals.
Proven customer demand
- With over 4 years of traction, Maternify has supported more than 5,000 families and delivered over 7,000 services with an average ticket of €130.
- Over 100 families per week request a service, of which approximately 40% end up purchasing a service, course, or workshop.
- 6 active B2B contracts with companies in consulting (Michael Page), retail (Bestseller), communications (IPG Mediabrands), real estate (Clikalia), beauty (Farlabo), and pharma (Qualipharma).
- Expanding pipeline with advanced conversations with more than 10 international companies across multiple sectors and initial discussions with over 50 more.
- 72% of customers rate our services 10/10. Google reviews reflect a 4.9 rating after nearly 900 reviews.
- These metrics confirm sustained demand and validate a model that combines natural recurrence with high perceived value.
Huge and growing market
- Maternify sits at the intersection of two expanding industries:
- Global Maternal & Child Health Market Size: $842 billion, 14% CAGR.
- Corporate Wellness & Benefits: $130 billion, 7% CAGR.
Both sectors converge around digitalized care, women’s health, and comprehensive employee wellbeing.
Timing: historic opportunity
- No dominant player exists in Europe or LATAM that integrates maternal-child health and work-life balance.
- The regulatory and social context is favorable:
- Agenda 2030 – SDGs 3, 4, and 5 (Health, Education, and Equality) directly aligned with Maternify’s impact.
- The EU requires large companies to reach 40% women on boards and 33% in management positions by 2027.
- In Spain, all companies with over 50 employees must create and update Equality Plans, seeking differentiated and measurable solutions.
Product and technology ready to scale
- The tech platform has been operational for over 2 years and is ready to scale: it processes more than 30,000 automated tasks each month. AI is already part of the product and is being integrated and tested to assist and improve customer service and operational efficiency.
- Handling sensitive data, Maternify complies with the highest data protection and cybersecurity standards and has De Lorenzo Abogados as DPO.
