Building a better life for seniors has never been more important.
By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be over 60. As a result of people living longer into their “golden years,” just about every country in the world is seeing its senior population increase.
So it’s no surprise the market for providing care to seniors — everything from pharmaceuticals and assistive devices to housing and nursing care — is growing rapidly. In the U.S. alone, the market’s expected to reach $1.2T by 2029.
Companies in the space are leveraging new technologies to provide seniors with community, in-home health monitoring, live captioned conversations, freedom of mobility, and more.
The trend of aging populations presents opportunities for robotics on two fronts: the need to assist seniors in carrying out day-to-day tasks and the need to automate the gaps in a shrinking workforce.
If you’re energized by the prospect of making people’s later years truly golden, check out our list of the top companies hiring to build the future of senior care.

We’re living longer—but are we living better? Today, we spend longer than ever as retirees. Yet nearly half of older adults report that retirement has fallen short of their expectations: without the structure and schedule of work, one in three experience feelings of loneliness and isolation, loss of purpose and identity, and boredom. Hank was born out of our own personal experiences seeing those around us—parents, grandparents, friends—go through those exact feelings in their post-retirement years. We're aiming to change that by bringing 55+ adults together with experiences and like-minded folks in their community, helping to build connections that will keep us collectively living longer, happier, and healthier.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
