SeniorPad

Our one-line pitch is…               
SeniorPad – the homecare solution for seniors – a senior-focused hard-/software and service-solution to enable elderly people to stay longer at their own homes.

Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…      
Thomas Steinmayer spent more than 10 years in telecommunications and media business forthe biggest telecommunications company in Austria.
Thomas Fiedler reengineered factories in the consumer electronics industry and spent more than 10 years in the multimedia/telecommunications/healthcare business, recently CEO of VAPC.

SeniorPad is a home care solution for elderly people Photo credit: SeniorPadWe received our initial capital through…        
Ourselves, government, care organisations, and partners.

The real pain about starting a business in Austria is…     
The long time you need to convince people about a great concept and change the way of thinking – in short, the reluctance for new concepts and approaches.

The person that inspires us is…          
Steve Jobs because of his way of dramatically changing the rules of a whole industry.

The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is…    
Business related: The easy upload of photos and videos to our grandparents’ SeniorPad so they can share daily experiences and have new topics to discuss with us and stay connected.
Privately: The “shut off” function of our numberless digital devices … 😉

The one thing we would save from our burning office is…           
Ourselves – everything else is saved in the cloud … 😉

The worst piece of advice we ever got was…          
Hire more people. Luckily, we managed to inspire friends and partners to believe in this idea and support it – so we have a lot of extremely skilled and motivated people who contribute a lot of their time voluntarily to this project.

The one thing that will make us quit is…       
If someone who has no clue about the business gets more than 50% of the shares.

Our inside joke is…                     
Narf(f)

You might not believe it, but we…      
Have fun working on this project since we can implement our vision, create our own environment, choose the partners we like to work with, meet and work with inspiring people and can use all the experience from the previous years.

We’ll call ourselves successful when…          
We have more than 3.000 happy customers and enriched their and their family’s lives with our services.

The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
SeniorPad – what else? 😉 … and of course our neighbour-startups and friends of the Herold Office Space!
