Company mission

Our take

Over one fifth of Americans have caregiving responsibilities towards an adult loved one, and this number has been increasing sharply for decades. The strains of this responsibility can be substantial, with many caregivers foregoing attention to their own health and financial wellbeing. With fewer professional caregivers available, burnout is a growing risk.

Homethrive is an online platform offering a wealth of resources, guidance, and advice to these unpaid and untrained caregivers. Users can either pair with a professional care guide to establish a care plan, or take advantage of the resources and guidance of its digital assistant Dari.

The growing urgency of caregiver burnout has attracted the attention of other similar healthtech startups too, like assistance-sourcing platforms Papa and DUOS. They’ve been cashing in generous funding, as has Homethrive, suggesting a real market demand for - and confidence in - healthtech as a solution to the increasingly urgent issue of caregiving.

Homethrive’s platform is a shade more comprehensive than these competitors, however, and has successfully begun to launch as an employment benefit across the US. It’s an interesting solution, and Homethrive is making steady and much needed progress in the field.
