Phaidra is a startup founded by former employees from DeepMind, Google, and the industrial sector. In our experience, many industrial companies want to apply AI and have valuable use cases for the technology. We've experienced first-hand the technology's ability to create enormous value in the industrial sector. However, it is also an exclusive technology. The benefits of AI are currently locked to the few companies with the deep resources and expertise to commercialize it. We started Phaidra to broaden access to the technology by enabling industry practitioners to directly develop their own AI solutions. While a myriad of tools already exist for data scientists or software engineers, our experience suggests that domain expertise is the primary driver of AI performance.

Rippl is a new kind of mental health company focused on seniors and obsessed with its clinicians. Seniors with mental health challenges, especially neurocognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, are overlooked and under cared for, often without access to high quality, real-time, practical care. Leveraging a value-based approach, disruptive technology, and a relentless focus on empowering and enabling its clinicians, Rippl is pioneering a new care model to dramatically expand access to high quality, wraparound mental health care for seniors, their families, and caregivers. Rippl provides 24/7 support and personalized care when and where they need it – on the phone, online or in their living rooms. Founded by a group of impatient optimists and doers from the country’s most iconic health care and consumer brands (who have all been caregivers themselves), and backed by visionary venture investors ARCH Venture Partners, General Catalyst, GV, F-Prime Capital and Mass General Brigham, Rippl is ready to take this urgent challenge head on. Our seniors deserve so much better. Join our movement at ripplcare.com.
