About
What started as a response to the personal experiences of its founders with care agencies has evolved into a transformative platform designed to improve elderly care across Germany. Founded in 2020, marta was born from the frustrations and disappointments faced by families struggling to find reliable, transparent, and compassionate care for their loved ones. This journey began when the founders, having witnessed firsthand the shortcomings of existing care services, decided to create a viable solution that emphasizes fairness and quality. The inspiration for the company's name, marta, pays homage to a dedicated caregiver who made a significant impact on the lives of the founders’ grandparents. With a commitment to enhancing the 24-hour care landscape, marta connects families directly with certified caregivers through its platform, bypassing the inefficiencies and high costs often associated with traditional care agencies. Each caregiver is thoroughly vetted, ensuring that families can find not only qualified help but also someone who fits well with their loved ones' needs.
