Meet Shauna Sweeney, Founder & CEO of tendercare.
After spending eight years as a full-time caregiver for her grandmother, Shauna emerged with a deep understanding of just how emotionally and logistically overwhelming caregiving can be, especially when you're doing it alone.
She founded tendercare to change that.
With over 50 million Americans acting as informal caregivers, tendercare is tackling a massive, underserved market. The platform is more than just a task app, it's an AI-powered care coordination tool that brings structure to fragmented, high-emotion workflows.
We invested in Shauna and tendercare because she lived the caregiving chaos firsthand and built a mission-critical solution to solve it. She brings the clarity, grit, and founder-market fit we look for, and the early traction spoke for itself.
