Last year we introduced the Agetech News Startup Directory, the largest database of its kind comprised of active startups working to improve the lives of older adults and their caregivers. Since then, we've worked to enhance the functionality of this database to even better serve our readers. With more than 1000 companies and a new format, we're thrilled to re-share the Startup Directory with you!
In other exciting news, the first episode of the Founder Series Podcast Season 2 is now live. This season we're highlighting startups who are part of the AARP Agetech Collaborative. Follow us via newsletter, Twitter and LinkedIn for weekly updates!
