I'm a former caregiver and have led a community service org with 300+ volunteers.
I'm very grateful to be working in the care industry. My grandparents raised me as a child and giving back to our aging population is incredibly fulfilling for me.

I spent eight years doing companion care for neurodiverse people and worked with US Congress to support legislation in the space. My grandparents also played a big role in my life (my grandpa taught me the times table).
Now I'm building MochaCare — the AI-native management service that supports care organizations that support older folks and neurodiverse people.

Is this you?
If you're behind MochaCare: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
