Bridging the Healthcare GapIn a world where complex systems require trusted professionals, we often find ourselves unsupported in the most intricate area of all: healthcare. Just as you rely on a lawyer for legal matters, an accountant for taxes, and a travel agent for trips, the healthcare industry, which affects every family, often leaves us to navigate alone.Introducing the Hero: Your Trusted Senior Care ExpertAt Hera, we are pioneering a new role in healthcare: the Hero. Our Heroes are dedicated senior care experts who focus on the crucial “last mile” of healthcare, ensuring that families receive the support they need.Not just facilitating a kidney transplant, but ensuring Barbara attends her follow-up appointment to prevent hospital readmission.Not merely arranging for home aide services, but guaranteeing that Beverly receives the right care.Not only bringing John home post-stroke, but crafting a long-term strategy for him to age comfortably at home.We are committed to providing these services under insurance coverage, ensuring that every family in America who needs our help can receive it. Aging is a universal experience that deserves dignity and support.Our Commitment to TrustAt Hera, we prioritize trust above all. Our brand promise is clear: to provide care that we would want for our own parents. This commitment defines our interactions, drives family decisions, empowers our Heroes, and guides our product development at every touchpoint.Tackling the Supply ChallengeCurrently, we face a significant challenge: there are not enough Heroes to support every family in need. The limitation lies not in demand but in supply. Our Heroes today require years of social work or nursing experience, exceptional trust-building skills, and operational excellence. This caliber of expertise is rare, with only 1 in every 200 social workers qualifying to become a Hero.To expand our reach across America, we must broaden the qualifications for becoming a Hero, allowing anyone who can foster human connections to step into this role. This approach will enable us to maintain quality across every interaction.

This dedicated senior care expert focuses on the “last mile” of healthcare, providing essential support that occurs outside traditional settings. Our Heroes empower families by educating, coordinating, and advocating for those often overlooked in the healthcare system, ensuring they receive necessary care covered by insurance.At Hera, our mission is rooted in trust. Our brand promise reflects our dedication: to provide care as exceptional as we would want for our own parents. After successfully closing a significant seed round led by Accel and achieving impressive seven-figure GMV through organic channels, our team has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers.Our Growth StrategyCurrently, Hera’s primary growth avenue stems from trusted referrals from healthcare professionals. We are actively integrated within esteemed institutions such as NYU Langone, Weill Cornell, and Mount Sinai, where departments often reach out to us spontaneously. However, we recognize the potential to extend our outreach beyond this existing network. Many families in urgent need of our services may not be directly referred by medical professionals.

This is where growth marketing will play a pivotal role in expanding our reach.Key AchievementsViral Community Engagement: We successfully organized an art exhibition for 88-year-old Ben Feldshuh, which gained viral traction on TikTok. Coverage from NY1 and NBC highlighted the event, where all of Ben’s 40+ paintings sold, attracting over 300 attendees.
