TeleMemory joins nine other startups as the Techstars Kansas City Accelerator 2021 cohort. The three month program focuses on mentoring and investor readiness, including an examination of their revenue formula, product road-map and financials by experienced entrepreneurs, investors and business executives.
4thEst8 readers learned about Telememory in February 2021 after founder and CEO Eliot Arnold pitched to 1 Million Cups – Kansas City. The company is developing software driven content for elderly persons suffering from loneliness and isolation – factors that can accelerate cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s and dementia-related neurological disorders.
