We are pleased to welcome the newest cohort of startups to the AgeTech Collaborative™. These include Ostrich and Paperwork. These FinTech companies were selected from the 2021 Financial Wellness Pitch Day that was held in collaboration with Empire Startups. The Challenge that the startups were asked to consider was:
“As life expectancy continues to increase, how can new, disruptive solutions help individuals and industries earn, save, and manage financial resources to support longer lifespans.”
Throughout the past eight weeks, these startups received resources and mentorship from their AARP Innovation Labs Portfolio Manager to help refine their solutions and accelerate their innovations.
On behalf of the entire AARP Innovation Labs Team - Welcome to the AgeTech Collaborative™!
Ostrich provides tailored financial information, breaks down the taboo around discussion of personal finances, and helps users build good money habits through social accountability.
Paperwork is a mobile-first financial readiness and organizational platform focused on maximizing financial health and preparedness for all life stages. With step-by-step guidance on the crucial documents you need to protect your family and be prepared for any situation in life, Paperwork gives you peace of mind that your family is organized, prepared and protected.
