About the role

These campuses staff their night shifts at roughly twice the regulatory minimum - comfort-driven cover that can't simply be cut - and once holidays, sickness and cover are loaded, each night position carries ~$160k of true annual cost.
Worse, the status quo causes the harm it exists to prevent: around 80% of falls happen in the window right after a nurse's check wakes the resident.
Existing tech - pull cords, wearables, fixed sensors - is safety kit that never changes the staffing model.

$128k ring-fenced build budget to cover founder stipends and additional specialist resource at the founders' discretion
On-demand access to specialist support across data science, applied AI, fundraising, legal, finance, PR and commercial partnerships

The sensing IP and the ROI model are the moat.
Define the wedge.
Choose the operator profile and the 3-state cluster (consistent regulation) where you run concurrent pilots first.
Turn a thesis into a product.
Win the first pilots.
Land 2-3 CCRC / senior-living operators and prove FTE substitution through the pilot sequence - service level held with one less night headcount.
Sell savings, not safety.
Frame the buy as an ROI decision for the CFO/COO, positioned as redeployment, not redundancy.

At incorporation, the founding team will receive 70% equity in a new company set up for the venture, and the Studio 15%, both subscribed at nominal value.

a mobile UWB-radar robot that patrols the corridor at night, senses through doors and walls, and reports movement as fact - in bed, out of bed, in the bathroom, on the floor - never as clinical judgement.
Data is monitored remotely, and staff are alerted only when a physical check is warranted.
No wearables.
No per-room installation.
Sold as robot-as-a-service, it delivers a two-to-three-month payback and is the easiest pilot in the category to say yes to: zero capex, zero installation, nothing entering residents' rooms, and fully reversible.
Credibility with conservative care operators and forward-looking venture investors, and willingness to be on the ground in the US.
