Through Aging2.0’s partnership with Google for Entrepreneurs, Academy companies will also have access to Google training, mentorship and products.
“We were blown away by the quality and quantity of the Academy applicants this year and are thrilled to announce the 2014-2015 cohort,” said Katy Fike, PhD., Aging2.0 co-founder. “We look forward to working with and supporting each company as they bring these much-needed products and services to market.”
The Leaders Circle brings together 12 of the leading organizations from across the continuum of care, who individually and collectively have unparalleled insight, access and reach into the senior care market.
“The Leaders Circle members are just that — true leaders in the field. Each is committed to exploring new ideas, investing in innovation and pioneering ways to improve the lives of older adults,” said Katy Fike PhD, Aging2.0 Co-Founder. “Their leadership and partnership adds incredible depth and breadth to the Aging2.0 platform and amplifies our ability to truly connect, educate and support entrepreneurs working in aging and long-term care."
