Investment in Babywatcher, the first company to introduce a baby ultrasound device developed for home use for parents-to-be.
Thanks to Babywatcher, expectant parents can easily make ultrasounds from the comfort of their own home without the assistance of a medical professional and share the experience with friends and family. Because the device uses 2D sonic waves, it is not harmful to the unborn child. The Babywatcher is available to rent and is delivered as a 'plug & play' package including laptop and scan gel. The users get free cloud storage for all images and videos created and so may easily share the footage with loved ones or medical professionals.
Since its start, Babywatcher has won many awards such as the prestigious Baby Innovation Award and already 450,000 ultrasounds have been made. Raymond Bergs, CEO and founder: "I’m really happy that since introduction to the market the Babywatcher has been received with enthusiasm. When we were for the first time at the ‘Negen Maanden Beurs’, a Dutch exhibition for expectant parents, we sold out immediately! Currently, the Babywatcher has over 10.000 users and we surely anticipate an increase in those figures".
Babywatcher is already active in 12 countries with the focus now mainly on Germany and the Netherlands. They want to grow faster within Europe and upgrade the image quality. By using innovative technologies, the device will be able to automatically convert the 2D images to 3D so that the parents-to-be can see their unborn baby even more clearly. KIKK Capital has invested in Babywatcher to make these ambitious plans possible.
Raymond Bergs about the involvement of KIKK Capital: "The invested capital enables us to realize our growth ambition. With KIKK Capital we feel that we have the right investor by our side to provide us not only with money but also with knowledge and experience.”.
Patrick Lems of KIKK Capital about the investment: "Babywatcher is a perfect addition to KIKK Capital's portfolio: it is a young, strongly growing company with a revolutionary product that is internationally scalable. In addition, it is run by an experienced entrepreneur who knows all about ultrasound technology but also knows what it takes to make a company succeed. We have every confidence that Babywatcher will realize their aspirations".
