The 137-Year-Old Care Company Building a Home for Every Stage of Ageing
Montefiore began with one communal home in 1889. Today it is trying to solve a more modern problem: how to let people change the level of support they receive without losing the routines, relationships and dignity that make life feel like their own.
Andromeda Robotics
Andromeda Robotics is a Melbourne-founded, San Francisco-based robotics company building Abi, a colourful humanoid companion robot designed to reduce loneliness in aged care and assisted living. Abi holds conversations in more than 90 languages, remembers residents across visits, and runs group activities, working alongside care teams rather than replacing them. Founded in 2022 by Grace Brown, the company deploys Abi to care homes on a subscription basis and raised a $23M Series A in September 2025 led by Forerunner.
