Uniper is a community of older adults that is accessible directly from a television, computer, tablet or mobile device that provides a personalized collection of live classes, activities, health recommendations and unlimited interactive experiences, and allows them to connect and communicate with loved ones.
Backed by Aleph, Zeev Ventures and leading investors with senior care and healthcare expertise, this Series A round nearly quadruples Uniper's prior investments to reach $21 million to date since its inception in Tel Aviv in 2016, and its US launch in 2018. Uniper has previously raised a preseed round led by Mediterranean Towers Ventures and Fusion, an accelerator for Israeli startups in the US.
Co-founder and CEO Rami Kirshblum noted, "Our vision is being validated by prominent health and technology investors, Zeev Ventures and Aleph. Hundreds of care partner organizations and some of the largest health plans in the US now have a customizable platform to help seniors age healthier and happier. In four years, we've earned the trust of thousands of seniors who now stay connected to the part of their lives that matters most."
Uniper partners with national aging and Jewish human services agencies, and government entities such as the US Health & Human Services and the Veterans Administration. The company anticipates more acceleration elevated by a $1.4 billion package from US President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan for Older Americans Act program.
