What would you pay to cure loneliness? Our $10M Series A investment in Papa
<p>Healthcare — Papa’s focus — 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’s not Papa’s approach. Instead, they are using technology to create an entirely new class of caregiver. For older people, it’s companionship and support when they may be struggling with social isolation, loneliness or the general strains of aging gracefully. For a workforce that’s increasingly seeking more flexible and reliable opportunities for growth (our “Papa Pals”), it’s meaningful work that pays significantly better than other gig economy jobs and minimum wage. And for health plans, it’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’ve passed the point where incremental solutions can move the needle.</p>
