Reddit IPO! Can this oddball social network be a great public company? I'm on the sidelines for now. It's unclear if they can (1) grow their user base; (2) build an ad platform to monetize them and (3) the scale of the opportunity to sell data to LLMs. bit.ly/4cdymci

Why media startups are a wildly important trend Anarghya Vardhana

1/ Excited to partner with Sage - a modern care coordination platform for senior living facilities

This one is personal for me, my mom is a social worker serving older adults in SF for 30+ yrs. I saw the challenges caregivers face, believe better care starts with better tools

3/ Sage is a game changer for senior living communities. By offering a modern care coordination platform, care teams are able to provide more timely and more confident care to their residents

Communities enabled with Sage have seen caregivers' response times improve by 50%!!!

4/ Caregivers love using it! This was key. I flew to Indiana to visit Sage powered facilities, I heard this'

👩‍⚕️'I can't imagine working without Sage'
👌'It's so easy to use'
🚑 'In moments of emergency, having patient information at my fingertips has helped me save a life.'

5/ Facilities that use Sage have seen 40% reduction in caregiver churn.

Facilities express managing their caregiver labor force is their #1 challenge with reports showing 65% avg annual churn, exacerbated by COVID. Caregiver churn is costly and leads to poorer care delivered

6/ Families earn peace of mind knowing exactly the care their loved one is receiving. Communities with Sage installed have seen resident and family complaints reduced by up to 90%.

7/ We see a world where Sage is the industry standard - a trusted brand where families elect Sage powered facilities.

Couldn't be more excited to partner with Raj Mehra, Ellen Johnston, and Matt Lynch and the rest of the Sage team! More to come!

We are proud to lead Sage's Series A funding. As the labor shortage among caregivers accelerates and the U.S population continues to skew older, the technology Sage provides helps to alleviate some of the most serious challenges in U.S. healthcare today.
