What's Next? Boomer Business Summit 2015

Mary Furlong's annual "What's Next? Boomer Business Summit" encourages businesses to "seize the opportunity to be part of today's longevity economy." It is an exciting place to learn, mentor and network. CareLinx CEO Sherwin Sheik was honored to speak at the Boomer Business Summit in Chicago on Thursday, March 26. "CareLinx would not be where it is today without Mary Furlong. She's been instrumental in making introductions, mentoring, and much, much more. She is absolutely amazing and we are blessed to have her part of the CareLinx family." Sherwin spoke on how to fund your emerging business and attract venture financing. He shared how CareLinx has evolved from being a bootstrapped startup with a social mission to help families in need of care, to being able to attract Angel financing to grow the organization to ultimately closing a Venture Capital and Strategic rounds of financing. To date, the company has raised more than $5M and has garnered a lot of institutional investor interest given CareLinx's rapid nationwide growth. CareLinx now operates in the top 50 metropolitan areas with over 100,000 caregivers on the platform. He highlighted the key performance metrics investors typically look for when evaluating opportunities so that other fellow entrepreneurs looking to help seniors can successfully launch their businesses and achieve their goals. CareLinx caregivers assist seniors with a variety of conditions - from memory loss to diabetes to stroke - remain safely in their homes. CareLink Family Advisors are committed to helping families through one of their most stressful times in life, by assisting them in finding the best caregiver for their needs.
