We connect generations to
build a better future together

Eldera is a purpose driven company that transforms increased human longevity from a healthcare crisis into a global opportunity. Eldera built the online platform, resources and safety checks necessary to turn older adults (60+ years old) into mentors and friends for young people (6 to 17 years old) over weekly virtual conversations. Young people benefit from social-emotional learning and increased resilience, while older adults benefit from a sense of purpose and community. Everyone wins and neither side requires to be paid. By leveraging AI, we unlock the wisdom and scale of the older generation as a new resource to benefit society. Eldera has been already recognized as a Social Prescription by The Cleveland Clinic and as a Case Study for Using AI to Reconnect Generations by the UN's AI for Good, and CNN named us as one of their Good News of the Year!

Safety is our top priority. Every mentor undergoes a rigorous vetting process including criminal background checks and identity verification. All video sessions take place on our secure platform, are recorded for safety, and follow strict guidelines. Our AI Chaperone monitors for potential risk in conversations, parents can review session recordings and our dedicated trust & safety team monitors interactions.

We use AI thoughtfully to enhance - never replace - human connection. Our AI Chaperone helps match mentors and mentees based on highest benefit for both. It also reviews conversations for any potential risk, keeping mentors, mentees and Eldera safe, while keeping the authentic human relationship at the center of every interaction.

We take a personalized approach to matching, considering factors like superpowers, interests, expertise, personality traits, and communication styles. Both mentors and families complete detailed profiles, our AI algorithm proposes the matches with the highest likelihood of forming long term bonds and our team carefully approves potential matches. Once matched, we facilitate an initial meeting where everyone can get to know each other before committing to regular sessions. 94% of our matches talk weekly and 72% of those talk for a year or more!
