Patronus Raises €11M For Senior Safety Smartwatch And Family App

The company plans to use the capital to strengthen its position in the mobile emergency response market and expand its product offering into areas such as family wellbeing and an AI-powered daily companion.

The funding round was 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 and Tim Wagner, Patronus is a provider of digital safety and companion solutions designed for seniors.

The company aims to modernize elderly care by replacing traditional emergency call devices with its emergency smartwatch. According to Patronus, conventional emergency systems have seen little innovation over the years, despite being widely used.

The company notes that around 1.2 million people rely on such devices, but studies indicate that only about 14% wear them consistently, highlighting a major gap in everyday usability and reliability.

The new funding will be used to expand Patronus’ position in the mobile emergency response market and to develop additional product features focused on family connectivity and wellbeing, including an AI-powered companion designed to support users in everyday situations.

“We want to create a world where ageing means safety, independence, and connection. Supported by technology that adapts to people, not the other way around,” said Ben Staudt, founder of Patronus.
