Caregiving Touches More People Than We Realize

Everyone on the CuroNow team brings their own experience, perspective, and motivation to this work.

Join the team in helping agencies and families stay connected!

Our Mission

CuroNow exists to help agencies and families stay connected, share responsibility, and notice changes earlier. That way, caregiving feels more manageable, conversations are more productive, and no one has to carry it alone.

We build care coordination infrastructure that supports caregivers without taking away the agency, dignity, or joy of the people they care for. We’re building the platform we wish we had existed when our families needed it most.

-Rukmini & Pat, Co-Founders

Our Shared Belief

  • This is my grandfather and my four brothers. Like a lot of families, we struggled to keep everyone in the loop as his needs changed. With so many people involved, things inevitably got lost in the shuffle. CuroNow is the solution we wish we had back then: a way to turn a complicated care network into a connected family.

    I'm excited to be part of CuroNow's mission to make caregiving less stressful for family caregivers, especially those that live far from their loved ones. I see a promise of technology removing the chaos and stress of coordination from miles away, and allowing for more time focused on fun when we can be together.

  • A woman and a man are sitting together at a wooden table in a restaurant, smiling at the camera. The woman is wearing a turquoise blouse and earrings, while the man is wearing a black t-shirt and a black cap with the words 'The Ritz-Carlton Chicago' on it. There are plates of pie and a glass of soda with ice on the table. The background features a floral wallpaper with large orange flowers and green leaves.

    I’m helping the CuroNow team to improve the important intersection of wellness and knowledge for family members (living nearby or faraway). With prevention comes the amazing power to help and guide others.

  • Two men sitting together on a train or bus, smiling at the camera. The person on the left has curly brown hair and is wearing a black jacket. The person on the right has curly gray hair, glasses, and is wearing a green scarf and brown jacket.

    I joined CuroNow because it represents the true meaning of tech for good. In a world where tech companies compete for your scrolling time and click-through rates, CuroNow strives to bring meaningful change to individual lives in a way that's rare in today's industry.

    I joined CuroNow for people like my grandmother, who had to take care of her brother, and my parents, who will have to help their parents more and more as they get older.

    Asher Hunt, Designer

  • Three women smiling for a photo indoors, with framed papers or posters on the wall behind them.

    Caregiving, to me, is really about connection and showing up for each other. My friends and I do this naturally—checking in, stepping in when someone needs help, and making sure no one is carrying everything alone. That’s what I want to bring to CuroNow and the families we support.

    Deborah Shapiro, Head of Retention

  • Two women hugging and smiling at a party or nightclub, with a crowd of people in the background.

    My best friend and I love to travel and eat, but our sensitive stomachs make planning trips and meals stressful. Having a place to organize tasks, plan doctor’s appointments, and track medications can make life so much easier—not just for people like Shravya and me, but for so many others going through their own health challenges. I’m truly grateful to be part of an initiative that helps care for the people who mean the most to me.

    Arshia Rikhi, Software Engineer

  • Group photo of multiple people making funny faces and posing for a photo in a photo booth.

    I’m doing this for my siblings, who carry so much of the invisible load at home while I’m away. I want caregivers everywhere to have the support they need so caregiving deepens connection instead of creating strain.

    Quyen Tonnu, Design Strategist

  • Four people standing outside on a foggy day in front of a metal fence, smiling for the photo.

    Startups are pure potential - both for learning, and in CuroNow's case, the opportunity to do social good. That's what drew me to work at CuroNow.

    Pratik Sanghavi, Software Engineer

  • Three people standing on a bridge with a river behind them, in front of a historic church with two green domes, in a European city.

    This photo captures a dream fulfilled—our family trip to Switzerland, aai’s (my Mom) bucket list wish come true. Behind the smiles is a story familiar to many: the quiet strength I got from my siblings and their spouses, planning, and care it takes to support aging loved ones while honoring their joy.  

    Mrunalini (Mrunal) Kulkarni, Daughter and a sibling

  • Group of people dressed in formal attire, standing outdoors in a wooded area, celebrating a wedding.

    I’m doing this for my mom and siblings, who carried the weight of caring for my dad. We were able to all be together for this special day before losing him weeks later to pancreatic cancer.

    Pat Setji, Co-Founder

  • Four people posing in front of a fountain and historic building on a sunny day.

    Being there for my parents is given --- like many others, this is ingrained in my value system growing up.

    Suman Banerjee, Advisor

  • Two women smiling and hugging each other outdoors in a garden with green plants and trees.

    Caretaking matters to me because I want my grandma to continue experiencing the joy of life and the warmth of human connection, even with dementia.

    Val Yang, Lead Product Designer

  • A woman and an elderly man smiling for a selfie outside a building with columns and a white and brick facade.

    I want to build a world where our 70s and 80s are just as purposeful as our 40s and 50s - as exasperating as it is to have my almost 90 yo dad believe he can do today  whatever he could at 40, he's also my inspiration!

    Rukmini Banerjee, CEO & Co-Founder

  • Two women, older and younger, sitting at a table with tea and a tea warmer, sharing a joyful moment and smiling at each other.

    Growing up, my mom has been the most warm and outgoing person in our family - I want to preserve as much of that personality and joy in her life as she copes with aging related symptoms

    Rukmini Banerjee, CEO & Co-Founder

  • Two women sitting in a boat, smiling at the camera, with a lively outdoor market or dock scene in the background.

    I want my mom to feel connected and cherished, like when I took her back to Thailand to be with family.
