@MartinGTobias I'm building GRACE, a tabletop AI companion for the 70+ demographic. She uses natural conversations, tracks presence and vitals through radar, orients to face users with a camera, and integrates with care plans. Target market is families and care facilities.

@MartinGTobias I'm building a robot that allow the elderly to age in place safer.

[Harout Markarian @HaroutZM]

@MartinGTobias That good tired is real. We are building GRACE, a tabletop companion robot for the aging in place population. It speaks in a warm voice so medication reminders and check-ins actually land. And takes vitals non-intrusively. Raising pre-seed now. Would love to show you.

Classic CA corruption strikes again. LA is demanding nearly $4K in business taxes from a revenue-less startup that operated out of my garage. How does this encourage innovation? Startups like mine need support, not baseless penalties. No wonder businesses are fleeing the state.

Humour is the best way to turn the toughest moments into opportunities for growth and understanding. It's a universal language that united us, lightens the load, and makes life's challenges a little more manageable.

Be a solution provider focused entirely on others. I am blessed with many gifts, and my purpose is to add value to others' lives. Ignore the distractions and the hype; instead, strive to be a beacon of light for those around you.

@exitfundvc I would add focus on others not yourself.

The power of authenticity:

• Attracts your tribe
• Builds trust
• Fuels growth

Be genuine, and the world will respond.

@DarrelFrater Is this for pitching or permanently moving to OKC?
