She has managed global teams to launch new products that have generated hundreds of millions in revenue, bootstrapped numerous ventures of her own, and has helped drive two companies to successful exits.

In 2019, Rashmi’s grandmother, Asha, was diagnosed with cancer. As Asha battled cancer in India, the rest of her family battled the difficult question of how to care for her while living on the opposite side of the world. With the surprisingly limited number of remote care solutions on the market, and even fewer that cater to non-tech savvy elders, Rasmi realized there was an opportunity to create a more intuitive solution, through the use of technology. Asha AI was founded with the mission of connecting family members to each other and to care.

In addition to Asha, Rashmi has founded several small businesses, advises a handful of Y Combinator companies, and is a board member of a couple of nonprofits focused on helping increase access to care.

Paul Carpenter is the co-founder and head of product and technology for BoundaryCare, a platform that uses real-time data and thoughtful design to help individuals gain and maintain independence while relieving stress from their caregivers.

Myke Bates is co-founder and CEO of Hearo Technologies, an assistive technology company founded in 2018 with the core belief that well-designed technology has the power to increase independence and improve the lives of those that it serves.

With an ever-expanding ecosystem of sensors, all seamlessly monitored and controlled through the Hearo dashboard, Hearo continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible for independent living and what empathetic technology systems can offer the individual and their caretakers.

Myke’s story—like an epic tale filled with twists and turns—began with a naturally curious mind and a tech background that spans IT support, e-commerce, engineering, and even marketing, all of which led him to ask the most important question: How could he use all of this knowledge to make the world a better place?

Beyond Hearo, building community and sharing knowledge is central to Myke’s journey. In 2014, he founded Springfield Devs, a grassroots networking group for tech professionals in Southwest Missouri that’s grown to over 1,000 members and attained non-profit status in 2022.

To know Myke is to know his contagious enthusiasm for ideas, forward-motion, and engaged conversation.

No matter the outcome, it’ll be a memorable ride.

Terrence is a son, brother, and caregiver. He’s held roles in the public, private and non-profit sectors, where he’s learned to advocate tirelessly for the greater good as a strategist, facilitator, and community builder. One of his biggest influences is his younger brother, who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Caring for his brother for almost 30 years has helped Terrence appreciate the unique needs of patients and caregivers. Terrence has been inspired by these life experiences to become a change agent and advocate for accessibility, inclusion, and mental health. When he’s not advocating for others and caregiving, you’ll find him enjoying a podcast or jumping on his trampoline!
