Why You Should Start a Business For Olde...

Greg Isenberg
About this episode

There’s a giant opportunity in helping older adults live a more vibrant, empowering life throughout their later years. Today we’re joined by John Zapolski, the founder and CEO of Alive Ventures, to better understand that opportunity. John is dedicated to building products and services that cater to older adults, and has developed a co-design system that allows them to be part of the process. On this episode we cover the future of smart wallets, Bing’s search engine, Greg’s security deposit business idea, and then bring in John to discuss several startup ideas geared towards older adults. Interested in developing these startup ideas further? Join us in the Discord.
