What would you pay to cure loneliness? Our $10M Series A investment in Papa

<p>Healthcare &mdash; Papa&rsquo;s focus &mdash; is a sector resistant to change. And yet, our healthcare system is massively broken. Many solutions exist that are small steps in the right direction, but that&rsquo;s not Papa&rsquo;s approach. Instead, they are using technology to create an entirely new class of caregiver. For older people, it&rsquo;s companionship and support when they may be struggling with social isolation, loneliness or the general strains of aging gracefully. For a workforce that&rsquo;s increasingly seeking more flexible and reliable opportunities for growth (our &ldquo;Papa Pals&rdquo;), it&rsquo;s meaningful work that pays significantly better than other gig economy jobs and minimum wage. And for health plans, it&rsquo;s a service that guides members towards healthier lifestyles, which have long-term impacts on health outcomes and costs. This approach is a big swing at a complex problem, but we&rsquo;ve passed the point where incremental solutions can move the needle.</p> <p><a href="https://byronling1.medium.com/what-would-you-pay-to-cure-loneliness-our-10m-series-a-investment-in-papa-850c7f6a5bce"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
