What Is memoMate?
MemoMate is an AI platform designed to free your directors of quality assurance, marketing, and wellness from time-consuming administrative tasks related to regulatory compliance. By automating menial tasks like conducting required customer satisfaction surveys and maintaining updated resident profiles, MemoMate frees up your team to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional care and driving revenue.



How it started
MemoMate began with a personal experience from one of our founders. When his grandfather passed away, his grandmother struggled with grief. The family noticed a spark in her eyes whenever she recounted stories from her past, reliving moments of pride, joy, sadness, and accomplishment.
They suggested she write down her life story, and while she was willing, she found the task too challenging to undertake alone. The family looked to hire a biographer, but that was too costly, and prompt-based biography platforms weren’t a solution either.
This got the founder thinking, wouldn’t it be possible to give everyone the experience of being interviewed by an actual biographer? That’s how MemoMate was born, an AI autobiographer that interviews people via chatting or calling. The end result is a printed book, digital book, or an audiobook.

What we learned
Preliminary research
Research shows that 40% of older adults wish to leave a legacy. However, many never do, often because they don’t know how to structure their stories, they don’t feel confident in their writing abilities, or they believe their lives aren’t interesting enough.
Proof of concept
In April 2023 we tested a proof of concept with a group of 100 older adults around the world. The participants claimed that interacting with the AI biographer was “therapeutic”, “jogged their memory”, and “fun”. With these results, MemoMate secured its first investment from Birdhouse, a leading European AgeTech VC, in 2023. This initial funding allowed us to build the alpha version of MemoMate.
Case study
To validate its effectiveness, our founder traveled to the US and lived in a senior living community for a month. During this time, he researched the ease of use of MemoMate and its impact on enriching residents’ lives. The results were very promising. Significant improvements in residents’ well-being and cognition were observed. These positive outcomes enabled MemoMate to secure a second investment from Rockstart, another leading VC in Europe.
Learnings
During the time spent in the senior living community, we learned that despite staff members being highly motivated to help residents use MemoMate, they often lacked the time due to pressing labor shortages. Additionally, rising regulatory issues forced staff to focus more on administrative tasks, detracting from the human touch that matters most.
New problem statement
Senior living communities are required to conduct satisfaction surveys with their residents, families, and staff to meet regulatory standards. However, traditional methods for gathering this feedback present challenges, such as low response rates, inaccurate answers, and lack actionable insights. They are also time-consuming, expensive, and do not effectively support decision-making.
Our vision
Our vision is to transform senior living by becoming an AI assistant that improves the lives of residents and help operators make data-driven decisions. By equipping staff with advanced tools for data-driven decision-making, we enable them to focus on what matters.
Our team
The MemoMate team of experienced professionals includes founders Uri Cohen, and Raphael Rubens, along with specialists in mental health, UX design for elderly, and software engineering. MemoMate’s potential has been recognized by Birdhouse, Europe’s premier AgeTech investor, and Rockstart, a leading venture capital firm. We’ve also secured investment from several angel investors, underscoring the strong belief in our innovative solution.
