Sensi.AI
Sensi.AI is a care intelligence company that uses ambient audio and AI to give home care agencies continuous visibility into the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of seniors aging at home. Founded in 2018 by Romi Gubes, Nevo Elmalem, and Alon Brener, the company deploys a discreet in-home audio device paired with an agentic platform that detects care anomalies, predicts risks, and recommends actions - aiming to close the visibility gap during the many hours seniors spend unsupervised. Sensi is trusted by roughly 80% of the largest home care networks in North America and has raised more than $98 million to date, including a $45 million Series C in October 2025.
Dirk Soenksen
Dirk Soenksen is the co-founder and CEO of Ceresti Health, a Carlsbad, California digital-health company that treats the family caregiver as the unit of care for people living with dementia. An engineer by training, he first reshaped a corner of medicine by founding Aperio, the company that turned the glass microscope slide into a digital image and became the global leader in digital pathology before Danaher's Leica Biosystems acquired it in 2012. A coffee on his last day at Leica sent him into a second act: instead of imaging the brain, he set out to support the overwhelmed spouses and adult children caring for it.
