Company mission
To get everyone a pal for companionship and care, help with groceries or a pet, a lift to the doc, or a walk around the park.
46% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Loneliness is a major problem for the ageing population, and Papa is the first platform dedicated to providing clinical care and friendship to older people. With 50% of older people considering themselves lonely, the company provides a solution to people who don’t need medical care but would benefit from companionship.
“Papa Pals” are matched with elderly users via the network and assist in basic tasks whilst providing friendship and fun. They might help with housework or technical difficulties, take the elderly person to appointments, or just spend time with them. Papa has also started to provide virtual care and chronic care management, and expanded its offering to help families too.
Papa was founded in 2017 and quickly expanded to 50 US states. It provides a strict vetting process to ensure the system is safe for its users. Further, the company's recent partnership with Uber to provide rides for its users is also an example of the strategic moves it is making to offer a comprehensive service.
