Back in 2008, Garrett Camp and I were walking on the Washington Mall, and he was telling me about this little startup idea he had: "UberCab" The problem was simple—getting a taxi in SF was extremely hard at the time. They called him crazy. People laughed at Brian (AirBnB) for

We're running out of beds in America. 10,000 people are turning 65 every single day: Our senior care system is already collapsing under the pressure. Here's why experts are calling it the “Silver Tsunami”: There are 56 million Americans over 65 right now…that same

Founders and VCs fall into the same growth trap year after year: A startup launches in a niche market. Early traction looks great, everyone’s cheering, and capital chases the curve. Then the curve flattens—because the total addressable market (TAM) is already tapped out.

The caregiving shortage will be solved. By using AI to make humans into superhumans… It’s being solved with AI, eliminating the administrative nightmare that steals caregivers' time. Because the math on caregiving is brutal right now: • 53+ million Americans provide unpaid

Most hourly workers would take a 20% pay cut for one thing: A predictable schedule. Studies from Princeton and Harvard show that workers value stable scheduling so much that they’re willing to trade a fifth of their pay to avoid last-minute shift changes. This is the

Let’s not leave older adults out of the conversation. They matter. They have unique needs. They’re uniquely vulnerable to tariffs, and they VOTE. Speak up. Share this.

And they’re often managing health conditions, and stretching every dollar. When prices rise on necessities like groceries, medications, or medical equipment, there’s no alternative. This population can’t wait for a self-inflicted wound to heal.

Tariffs don’t just affect imports—they affect people. For older adults, even small cost increases can have a big impact. Many are on fixed incomes, and the value of their assets just declined. Look at the stock market.

In-home care is the key to independent aging. But we’re not ready. The US is already short millions of caregivers, and demand is skyrocketing. If we don’t rethink how we attract, train, and support caregivers, the system will collapse.

People are living longer, but are they living better? Our lifespan has increased, but healthspan hasn’t kept up. We need more, better, years. That means better care, stronger communities, and more innovation.

Loneliness is more than just a bad feeling—it’s a public health crisis. It makes cancer deadlier, weakens the immune system, and speeds up Alzheimer’s. Chronic loneliness is as deadly as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. We must stop ignoring it.

We're revolutionizing how society cares for older adults. Not just through care delivery, but through technology that makes aging easier, safer, and more dignified. Because everyone deserves to age with grace. Ready to learn more?

For the past 10 years, we've been building the largest in-home senior care network in the Western Hemisphere. 60 million hours of care delivered annually. Because we believe aging shouldn't mean losing independence. Here's what we've learned:

Each decade brings new potential for growth. Aging isn't about what you lose—it's about what you gain. The ancient cultures knew this and it's time we remembered. And that's exactly what we're working on:

We must return to seeing aging as our ancestors did. As a second prime, rather than a period of decline. A time when experience combines with wisdom to create something truly powerful. Life doesn't peak in your 20s...

The answer lies in a psychological phenomenon: When you believe aging means decline, you make it true. But when you see aging as an opportunity for growth? Everything changes...and the science proves it:
