Nuri
Nuri is not open yet

Someone you love needs help. You live somewhere else.

Nuri is a care marketplace for families held apart by distance. Arrange help for a parent, a partner or a child who lives in another town or another country. See that it happened. Pay the person who did it.

The problem

Distance turns small things into hard things.

None of it is complicated

A prescription that needs collecting. A geyser that stopped working. A lift to a hospital appointment on Tuesday morning. Every one of these takes an hour from someone standing nearby, and is impossible from four hundred kilometres away, or four thousand.

Finding help is not the hard part

You can find a number and call it. What you cannot do from far away is know that someone arrived, that the work was done properly, and that the money reached the person who did it.

The people doing the work carry it too

Careful, reliable caregivers, cleaners, drivers and nurses are found by word of mouth, paid late or in cash, and finish years of good work with nothing to show for it.

How it works

Four steps, and none of them ask you to learn anything.

You should not have to understand how Nuri is built in order to use it. You answer questions about your own life, in your own words, and the product does the rest.

  1. Say what you need, and who it is for

    Two questions. Nuri works out the rest from your answers rather than asking you to fill in a profile first.

  2. Nuri matches a Pro

    Someone approved for that work, who covers that area. You choose from who is offered.

  3. The visit happens, and you see it

    The Pro records the work on their phone. It reaches you as a record of what was done, not a message saying “all fine”.

  4. The Pro is paid

    Money is held when the booking is made and released after the work is handed in. Nuri pays the Pro, so a family never chases an invoice and a Pro never chases a family.

Trust & safety

You are handing someone a key to your mother’s house.

That is the standard the rest of the product is held to.

A person approves every Pro

Creating an account is not an approval, and nothing in Nuri can approve a Pro automatically. Someone at Nuri reviews the application and makes the decision.

A Pro sees only what the work needs

A Home Pro is not shown medical information. A Nursing Pro is not shown details of the property. The address is approximate until a booking is accepted.

Access is granted, never assumed

Being someone’s son does not give you access to their life. Everyone in a care circle sees only what they have been given, and it can be taken back.

Nothing is called verified until it is

Nuri labels what it knows and what it does not. Where something is not yet in place, the product says so rather than showing a badge that means nothing.

Nuri is not open yet

You cannot arrange care through Nuri today, and nobody should plan around it. We are building it and testing it with a small group, and we will open one market at a time.

If someone you love needs help now, arrange it the way you can and keep Nuri for later. If you tell us where you are and who you are trying to help, we will write to you when Nuri can actually do something about it.
