What Craniometrix does

Craniometrix has raised over $21 million to help make dementia suck less. Dementia is tough - but it can be easier. Turns out, if you give families the right non-clinical coaching and support, you can avoid 30% of hospitalizations for these patients. And Medicare has recently started paying for that coaching. We launched our care navigation service for dementia patients in July of 2025, hit $4M of ARR, and just raised a $15M Series A. We leverage AI to provide best-in-class care, alleviating the burden on providers. Come help us build!

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and would base the company here after YC.
