Romi Gubes
Romi Gubes is the co-founder and CEO of Sensi.AI, an Austin-based company that turns ambient audio into around-the-clock care intelligence for seniors aging at home. A former Fortune 500 software engineer, she started the company in 2019 after a personal experience with vulnerability in care redirected her career toward protecting people who can't advocate for themselves. Under her leadership Sensi has raised more than $98 million, grown revenue 400% in a year, and expanded into what she describes as an AI operating system for senior care.
Nima Roohi Sefidmazgi
Nima Roohi Sefidmazgi is co-founder and CEO of Blooming Health, a New York City startup that uses AI to automate outreach, screening, and referrals for social care - the food, transportation, and support services that sit outside the doctor's office but often decide how a person actually fares. He is a former global data science lead with a decade in machine learning for healthcare and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He started the company in East Harlem in 2020 after becoming a full-time caregiver for his mother-in-law during the pandemic; it has since raised $32.5M, including a $26M Series A led by Insight Partners in April 2025, and operates across 25 states.
Rustam Sengupta
Rustam Sengupta is the founder and CEO of Tuktu Care, a Vancouver-born platform that matches older adults with vetted community helpers for companionship and everyday tasks so they can keep living at home. A serial entrepreneur who previously built solar microgrid companies across rural India, he turned a pandemic-era scramble to care for his aging parents in Singapore into a fast-growing agetech company backed by Techstars and Melinda French Gates' Pivotal Ventures. He holds an MBA from INSEAD, an MS in Electrical Engineering from UC Irvine, and a Chevening Fellowship from Oxford, and teaches social entrepreneurship at the University of Vermont.
