Why Longevity?
10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day. Living longer means many adults could spend 15+ years in retirement. With healthcare costs skyrocketing, 77 percent of Americans risk running out of retirement money way too soon. Three out of four older adults want to remain in their homes as they age but Medicare doesn't cover long term care support. Family caregivers provide the majority of caregiving for older adults valued at $600 Billion worth of unpaid care.
Between the 56 Million adults over the age of 65, plus the 53 Million family caregivers who care for them, it is safe to say that nearly a third of the U.S. population cares about care. The care economy is worth $648 Billion -- that's $100 Billion more than the pharmaceutical industry. Join us on April 3 to hear from leading investors, unicorn founders, and Techstars founders innovating at the intersection of longevity and care.
