Company
GoGoGrandparent
Concierge service for seniors' rides, meals, meds
We built a service that lets older adults request rides, meals, medication deliveries, groceries, and home maintenance simply by calling a phone number. Our system connects those requests to screened providers and monitors every order, aiming for over 99% reliability. No smartphone or app is needed, which is crucial for seniors who don't use technology.
We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based here after YC, with a mix of remote team members as well.
San Francisco has the talent pool and proximity to partners critical for growing a service business with tech components. The local startup ecosystem and remote flexibility let us scale while staying close to key resources.
