Behind Gubbe

Gubbe was founded in 2018 by Sandra Lounamaa and Meri-Tuuli Laaksonen and it all started from a genuine need: How come there isn’t an elderly care service you can trust your own grandmother to? The idea came about when Sandra began looking for a cure for her grandmother’s loneliness.
‍
“I am incredibly close with my grandmother yet I didn’t have enough time to commit to visiting and helping her around the home. I was in a position where I wanted to do more but I simply couldn’t.”
‍
With Meri-Tuuli’s profound background and experience in Heath Sciences, Gubbe - meaning ‘buddy’ or ‘friend’ - was established to connect young individuals with elderly people who need help with housework, staying active, transportation and caregiving tasks.

Building the world’s biggest elderly care business.
