At Quo Labs, we're on a mission to redefine aging in place for our senior population. We're doing this by developing and deploying agentic care solutions into the home, starting with AI care companions for seniors.

Two grandchildren saw their loved ones, in different ways, suffer due to a lack of care and support. Even though their families were giving their all. So they dropped out of Columbia University, moved to San Francisco, and started building AI-native eldercare solutions because their families needed it — and it didn't exist.

The world will grow unsustainable without concrete eldercare solutions. Here's why:

• By 2030, 1 in 6 people globally will be aged 60 years or over. That comes out to 1.4 billion seniors.
• The average American family pays $7,600 annually for caretaking. The median annual cost of a nursing home in the United States is $131,583 per year for a private room. Meanwhile, 93% of seniors are aging at home, and 60% of adult children report they cannot afford professional eldercare for their parents.
• With high turnover in the profession, exacerbated by the effects of post-pandemic burnout, the United States faces a shortage of 4 million healthcare professionals.

For the average family, eldercare remains unaffordable and thereby inaccessible. And on a broader level, the world is not ready for the aging demographic shift: the infrastructure simply doesn't exist. However, we believe that the intersection of artificial intelligence and consumer AI is at an inflection point that is uniquely suited to solving this problem, and we are building this infrastructure layer.

We're starting with embodied, interactive care companions that understand how seniors feel, are personalized to their living situation, flag concerns before they become serious, and allow them to stay in their home longer, saving families tens of thousands of dollars in care costs, all while preserving the graceful independence that seniors deserve.

The catalyst for a revolution in eldercare, and home care, is underway. We're on a mission to bring care to every senior's home, so every parent and grandparent can get the support and care they deserve. Over the next decade, we envision personalized care as a part of daily family life — embedding superintelligent, emotionally aware agents into the real world through natural, everyday interaction.

Put simply, we're building for our loved ones. If you'd like to join the team (and rewrite the status quo), reach out to audrey@quolabs.ai with a story about your parent or grandparent, and we'll be in touch.
