We invest in Founders working to make aging better. A century ago we didn't expect to make it to 60, but now we're surviving well into our 80's and beyond. Surviving, but not thriving. Technology hasn't kept pace with the medical advancements that gave us 20+ extra years of life leaving us directionless, isolated, and alone. We invest in companies that recognize this massive opportunity to improve the lives of older adults and their caregivers.

You can run many businesses in different US states, but things can be a bit more complicated when you are in the medical field. Each state has its laws and regulations for telehealth services, making it difficult to navigate and stay compliant. However, with the recent update on state telehealth laws, there are some key changes that you need to pay attention to. This blog will provide the most up-to-date information on state telehealth laws and regulations.

This is the guy we will read about in 20 years for his significant impact on how older adults experience aging. What makes Daniel Kaplan a killer investor is simple: 1. He understands the market deeply, from his experience as an operator and his perpetual "doing the work" to stay ahead of the curve. 2. He's incredibly disciplined and diligent. He follows through on every promise he makes, and does so thoughtfully. 3. He's the type of genuinely good person who you want to interact and work with. He's in it for the right reasons and he's easy to be around. He's the triple threat. I texted him a week ago that I'd be in his area for a few days for a conference, thinking it'd be nice to grab dinner while I was there. His first response to my text was that I should stay at his house the whole time, despite his wife being away and him being on full time baby duty. We went on walks, ate incredible home-cooked food, and talked about work and life. That's the kind of guy he is. Lucky to have him as an investor in Givers and as a friend!

I am pleased to announce that we (Bask Health) just closed our 7 figure seed round lead by Third Act Ventures! Thank you to everyone who has joined along the way and supported our vision. This is just the beginning. Special thanks to my twin and co-founder Elias Dorf 🤞🏽 — We also make some cool merch: https://hats.bask.health

I've long admired Rock Health as a leader in the healthcare ecosystem, so it was truly exciting to be able to speak at their recent Digital Health CEO Summit in New York City. Especially for first-time founders, securing capital can be a significant obstacle in transforming a promising idea into a commercially viable company. Hopefully I was able to offer some insights gleaned from both our triumphs and setbacks at Pear Suite. If any entrepreneur every wants to grab time with me to chat about funding (or anything) my digital door is always open! Shout out to the other panelists, Matthew Griffiths, Jon Bloom, M.D., Erica Jain, and Carlos R..

Heidi Culbertson has unmatched skill when it comes to creating products for older adults. Highly recommended!
I have some news! I am launching a crash course on building better products for the 60-plus demographic. - with the goal to educate PM's, designers and leaders to create better next-gen products, reimagine user experience and meet the needs of the older adult customer. Enrollment is open. Learn the details here: https://lnkd.in/eUnJxdY8 This is why I am teaching this course: After decades in enterprise tech, I've spent the past 10+ years building conversational AI products for older adults. I founded a startup in 2015, and later spent a few years at Amazon Alexa. More recently, I've taken the past 6 months off, tinkering with a new idea, and advising a few startups. I'm now back because this is such an important time. We need to build better and faster. In my early 2015 startup days, I was lucky enough to meet longevity, aging and senior living domain experts like Mary Furlong, Laurie Orlov, Davis Park, Kari Olson, Ginna Baik, and many more. They all took time to educate me on the market opportunity, the demographic, aging-in-place vs senior living, and the investment landscape. It accelerated learning and I now hold years of industry knowledge deepened by their wisdom. In parallel, as a long-time technologist, I was early in conversation design and part of the conversational AI community. I've taught workshops, run a hackathon; spoken at events, and learned so much from technology and design friends so much smarter than I. (I see you: Paul Cutsinger, Cathy Pearl, Jeff Blankenburg, Peter Erickson, Mark Tucker, Lisa Falkson, Katie McMahon) I believe it's important we bring domain knowledge and the people who actually do the building of things, together. Domain experts need to have insight into how product is built. Product and design teams need nuanced insight to the market audience to land on product fit. We have enough of product, design and engineering workloads that don't allow a deep enough understanding of the customer - designers doing time-constrained UX research; pressure to hit product launch dates; building to fix. (the list goes on, and I worry about bias in GenAI output). We need to do better. I'm just playing a small part. Enroll is open! Four live 60-minutes sessions.
