Papa

Papa (operating at papa.com) is a comprehensive in-home support platform engineered for connecting older adults and families with highly vetted companions. Founded in 2017 by Andrew Parker, and headquartered in Miami, Papa provides companionship and a helping hand wherever it's needed, solving the problem of social isolation and lack of support for families. Under the hood, Papa pairs users with trained and vetted companions called Papa Pals, who provide vital social support and everyday assistance. This allows families to maintain their independence and receive the care they need, while also providing a sense of community and connection. Backed by $301M in funding from investors like Y Combinator, Canaan, and Tiger Global Management.
