ONSCREEN, Inc.

Last week was a fresh adventure ??, meeting tons of amazing #founders, #mentors, #investors and #entrepreneurs. There was so much conversation: validation, challenging questions, and mentoring -- about what felt like a common goal from everyone: build an amazing company. I decided to head out to #Austin, #Texas (which I eventually got to 12 hours late after a flight diversion due to scary high winds!) and check out #FounderX after having been a pretty inactive mentor in the #orangecounty chapter of Founder Institute, and wanting to connect with this community. But I had no idea how broad and deep this community really went. ?????? I met folks from all over the globe -- leaders of their own respective chapters, and founders from those parts of the world. It was truly inspiring to hear their stories and ambitions. If you're not familiar with Founder Institute, here's a little back story: Founded in 2009 by Adeo Ressi and Jonathan Greechan in a Palo Alto garage, The Founder Institute emerged in response to the 2008 market crash, aiming to help entrepreneurs build resilient startups. Since then, it has scaled massively... ? 200+ cities, 100+ countries, 6 continents ? 7,500+ companies created, raising $1.85B+ in funding, with a $20B+ estimated portfolio value ? 37,000+ mentors helping founders build and scale ? Rigorous 14-week program that has helped thousands launch their businesses ? Innovative equity collective model, where graduates, mentors, and local directors share in each other’s success The program is transparent: The Founder Institute takes 2.5% equity in each company that graduates from the program. This equity is split into an "Equity Collective", where: ??Mentors receive 0.5% ??Local leaders receive 1% ??FI HQ receives 1% This model ensures that everyone involved in the program has a stake in each other's success, fostering collaboration and long-term support.

Excited to share our progress with Community Health Center of the North Country through our work with the New York State Office for the Aging! We have been deploying ONSCREEN, Inc. devices to seniors across New York, keeping them connected and engaged. Thanks to scheduled reminders for medications, stretching, daily jokes, and more, seniors are having meaningful daily interactions with our AI Companion, Joy. One senior, already interested in yoga, asked Joy for guidance, leading to a great conversation about simple poses and guided her to an online chair yoga class. Another started with Joy’s daily joke, but quickly shifted the conversation to decorating his new home and his favorite places to shop. These real, engaging moments are exactly why we’re doing this! Excited to see this impact grow as we reach more seniors across the state! ?? #SeniorCare #AgeTech #AICompanion #ONSCREEN #Connection
