NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Today, financial technology startup
Carefulllaunches a new platform to help family members and caregivers organize and protect daily financial matters for aging loved ones. Carefull looks to bring simplicity and intelligence to the emerging space of financial caregiving, and has raised $3.2M in seed funding led by NextView Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners.
Today, over 45 million U.S. adults are responsible for managing an aging parent or loved one s finances. According to a study from Merrill Lynch, 41% are called to this work due to a sudden event, like a scam, missed bill payment, or, in many cases, the diagnosis of a memory disorder, such as Alzheimer s disease. Financial caregiving can be a decades-long journey, and includes setting budgets, paying bills, catching errors and fraud, and coordinating family support, usually without any formal training and often from far away.
