Company mission
To help build a world in which everyone can be cared for in their own home - happily and safe. Stopping the elderly from having to go into a care home and remain in connected to their home, their community and their loved ones.

Our take
After founders Jonny and Oliver went through unsatisfactory experiences when arranging care for relatives, they decided to set up Edyn to provide a new form of live-in care – one combining human touch with smart technology.
An online care hub connects clients and carers and provides them with live updates and support. Seniors are empowered to stay in their own home knowing that 24-hour support is on hand and each family member gets access to the hub so they can have an overview of what is happening 24/7 – when the carer arrives, leaves and what they’ve done.
Edyn’s carers are comprehensively trained to ensure the high quality of care, backed by their care advisory team, made up of leading figures in the United Kingdom Care Industry and business. The company uses data analysis and machine learning to be proactive to an individual’s health needs and provide the right care at the right time, identifying potential problems before they worsen. Edyn's dual specialisation in technology and physical care differentiates it in the industry, but may add challenges to product adoption.

Although we are a small office team, we all get on great. I love being able to be sat next to people from all departments and work together to achieve greatness. Not only that but we do team socials every month where we're able to bond even further, some examples of such being GoApe and Flight Club.

Another benefit of working in a start-up is that every decision you make impacts the company's growth as a whole. I know that the work I do really does change the lives of not only the office staff but our clients too. I love that my opinion is not only upheld and respected, but is sought after in a lot of macro company decisions.

Autonomy
Feb 2023
When I joined Edyn I was still very junior and didn't have much experience. I really saw my career peak during my time there, my manager always pushed me to take more ownership of projects and helped me to push high-quality code. Edyn is an amazing company to develop hard and soft skills.
