FirstGen Founders Powering the Care Economy
Join FirstGen, AgeTech NYC in partnership with FamTech.org for a panel conversation and networking event featuring immigrant and first-generation (children of immigrants) founders building innovative solutions across the care continuum.
Immigrants and their children have long been the backbone of the U.S. care workforce. Now, a growing number of these individuals are stepping into the role of entrepreneur, founding startups that address the care gap and rising costs, not just as workers, but as builders of the next wave of care infrastructure.
This event will be an intentional conversation into how first-generation founders are innovating within the Care Economy, the challenges they face, and how we can collectively support more immigrant and first-generation entrepreneurs in this space. We’ll explore how to transition from being caregiving labor to caregiving entrepreneurs, redefining how care is delivered and experienced in America.
🎤 The panel will be moderated by James Hueston, investor at Primetime Partners and co-founder of AgeTech NYC.
This event will be catered towards:
FirstGen & Immigrant Founders
Mission Aligned VC's who work closely with the care economy and first-generation founders
Healthcare/Care Economy Innovators
