On this episode of Investors & Operators, Jordan sits down with Chiara Bell, CEO of Care Heroes. Together, they discuss:

• Chiara Bell’s commitment in healthcare and her journey to becoming an entrepreneur
• Lack of attention on the home healthcare industry in today’s society
• What it takes to become a successful entrepreneur

...and so much more.

While home healthcare is one of the most vital workforces, our society is not giving it the same gratitude as it should be. In this episode, Chiara Bell, CEO of Care Heroes, and Jordan had an interesting discussion about the overview of the home healthcare industry and the difficulties and investment opportunities underneath it. With 20+ years of experience in healthcare, Chiara shared her personal journey,  from a graduate of Albany Law School in 1994 to devoting her career to home healthcare. They also discussed topics such as balancing the long-term vision and execution as entrepreneurs, strategies on pricing, and their entrepreneurial journey and stories. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy task, however. Chiara revealed the lowest point on her entrepreneurial journey and how she still held firmly to what she initially believed through the hardest times. Let’s tune in and check it out!

Chiara Bell's Bio:

Chiara Bell is CEO of Care Heroes. Care Heroes is a platform for communicating, supporting and incentivizing the caregiver workforce. Paid caregivers, home health aides and family members are  integral parts of the healthcare delivery system. They combine reported caregiver insights with clinical data to drive an innovative health and wellness engagement program for anyone connecting with caregivers in the home.

Prior to Care Heroes, Chiara Bell was CEO and founder of Careticker. Careticker was the world’s first web and mobile platform that helped caregivers track and earn incentives for the caregiving activities they provided to their loved ones. They worked with Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations to engage with the most overlooked population affecting patient outcomes - the caregiver.

Prior to Careticker, Ms. Bell founded ENURGI, the first on-line marketplace for private, in-home caregiving services. In December 2008, ENURGI was acquired by Univita Health, a private equity backed independent aging platform led by industry leaders Ben Lytle and Hugh Lytle.
