Polish healthtech Carein secures €100k from the CofounderZone fund

The Warsaw-based healthtech startup Carein has secured over €100,000 (500,000 PLN) in a pre-seed funding round. The startup develops a new category of proprietary dietary supplements focused on dermatological problems. CofounderZone led the investment, MamStartup reports.

• Founded in 2021 by Katarzyna Matusiak and Emilia Dąbrowska, Carein develops dietary supplements focused on dermatological problems — Dermosupplements. Product formulas developed by scientists and Carein experts address the most common skin problems, such as acne, broken capillaries, discoloration, and loss of skin firmness.

“Almost every third Pole struggles with skin diseases. Our goal is to provide the most effective active ingredients that will support skin regeneration from the inside, ensuring their better absorption compared to external care,”

Emilia Dąbrowska, co-founder of Carein, explains.

• In its first round of funding, the project received capital support from CofounderZone and several business angels. It is a Warsaw-based generalist fund that unites a group of private investors working in a wide range of industries. Lately, the fund also supported a Polish healthtech company Foodsi and an e-commerce startup fyrtel.market.
• The fresh funds will allow Carein to develop its unique product recipes. It will also help with the launch of the production and sale of the first line of supplements.
