Leap

As founders who came to this problem through our own caregiving journeys, it can be easy to build through the lens of our own experience. Leap pushed us to zoom out and listen more broadly, and that has made us better builders and better advocates for the caregivers we serve!

[Leap created an] excellent opportunity to provide feedback for issues facing caregivers. This was my first time participating, and it was a great experience. It was well run and facilitated, and [I] appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback. 

One of the most valuable elements of NextGen was the Leap Focus Group and the Senior Advisory Panel (now Lived Experience Council). For an innovator who is at the customer discovery stage in the agetech market, understanding how my innovation is perceived in this market is critical to being able to determine the most effective business model and value proposition for this market segment. Agetech is fundamentally different from pediatrics, even if the product idea is the same. The Leap Focus Group helped put things into perspective.

I was inspired to see the young innovators are thinking of the seniors and trying to bring in more solutions to our needs.
