Optonome Announces Equity Crowdfunding Campaign to Shift the Home Healthcare Paradigm

PR Newswire

PHILADELPHIA, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Optonome has announced the launch of its official equity crowdfunding campaign in partnership with WeFunder. Optonome is raising capital to scale its operations, grow a team of talented thought leaders, technology development, and marketing. Optonome will also use the capital to create healthcare training, patient advocacy and go to full production of beacon sensors used in homes and small businesses that provide real-time information to assist business owners with training, compliance, remote supervision, foot traffic, and occupancy control. The WeFunder campaign launched on July 26, 2021. Investment is open to the public and can be found at: www.wefunder.com/optonome

This fundraise follows a record year for Optonome marked by significant onboarding of clinician CEO's. "In 2020 we made over $500k in revenue. We've grown over 750% in the past year. The average Optonome CEO saves over 80% of what it would cost to start with a national franchise." says MedCity News winner Dennis Dicker, CEO of Optonome. "As the population of seniors and people with disabilities continues to grow, so does the home care industry. Currently over 20 million older adults in need of long-term health care live within America's borders as well as 9 million individuals living with a disability indicating an imminent boom in this sector, which is poised to be one of the fastest growing markets, doubling in only 5 years time! However, what many don't realize is that most common solutions require them to sell their homes and spend all their savings before moving into an institution where they may even outlive these funds leading to an even more dire situation. The alternative to this is to seek an existing provider who can coordinate home and community services helping people age in place; however, this solution is antiquated and the providers act more like brokers than caregivers charging high fees for connecting families looking for quality long-term support services and care workers."
