• The Carewell story: Our story began in 2015 when our cofounder and CEO Bianca helped her mom care for her grandmother. They had no clue which products they needed much less where to find them or how to use them. Online marketplaces were confusing local shops had limited selection and no discretion and both experiences lacked empathy. Bianca was shocked there was no What to Expect guide like there is for new parents so she and her husband/cofounder Jonathan dedicated their lives to creating a solution for family caregivers just like you. Heres a great article about them at
• Overview : They are an ecommerce first marketplace. Its the chewy blueprint but instead of products for animals its products for the elderly. They want to get into prescriptions and private label products like Chewy in the future too. In May 2024 they were at about $50$100 million in revenue and they are looking to 10X that which they believe is on the low end. They also closed a $25 million in series B in early 2024 that is for hiring. The former CFO at Chewy is on their board and hes the one that negotiated the $3.5 billion sale of Chewy. Plus most of their leadership team is from Chewy so they are looking to replicate that.
• Upcoming Projects: They are currently doing a revamp their ecommerce website and they will look to add prescriptions and private labels in the future. They will likely add a mobile app down the line but fixing the website is the #1 priority. Their CEO is technical and originally put it together but it is a lot of systems connected together.
• Company size: They have hired a ton of former Chewy leaders and have over 200 employees as of May 2024. They are looking to grow and expand that number. Some of the former Chewy leaders are their CFO CTO CMO (was VP of Growth) the VP of Marketing Head of customer service Head of merchandising and others that lead analytics direct mail and paid search and the creative direction. They have double the amount of women in leadership than men.
• Size of IT Team : Currently there are 810 people. They have 45 on the front end which is their storefront team. Ryan Martin is leading their backend team and they have some people from Brazil helping for now. Daryl Altenhof is the Director of IT. They might build an infosec team but Darryl is doing it now. They will be adding 3 Staff Engineers and an SRE. There is also someone in the UK but Im not sure what they do. The product and design team is currently under the CTO but its moving to marketing under the VP of Brand Andrea Wolfe. One person in the UIK.
• Tech stack : They use the GCP cloud PostgreSQL serverless GCP typescript and react on the front end. Same tech as BEX (loves Dierdre).
• Remote/Onsite : remote but EST is the preference. They can technically live anywhere but CA and NY arent a preference. They have daily 9am EST standups.
• Benefits : Competitive compensation Health Dental and Vision insurance Shortterm Disability and Life Insurance (100% employersponsored) Supplemental Life Insurance (employeesponsored) 401(k) Retirement Plan (no employer contribution) 100% Remote company laptop and Employee discount. They have flexible PTO with a soft cap at 20 days plus 6 paid holidays. Onsite opportunity in Miami up to 2x per year. Maternity leave is 13 weeks @ 100% and Parental leave (nonbirthing parents) at 4 weeks @ 100%. They have 3 United Healthcare plans.
  • The Base Plan (comes with HSA): employee only covered at 80% employee spouse covered at 39% employee child/children covered at 49% and employee family covered at 44%.
  • The Buy Up Plan: employee only covered at 70% employee spouse covered at 34% employee child/children covered at 48% and employee family covered at 37%.
  • Buy Up Plan 2: employee only covered at 64% employee spouse covered at 31% employee child/children covered at 57% and employee family covered at 48%.
  • Guardian Dental: Covered at 75% of employee only
  • Guardian Vision: Covered at 75% of employee only
  • Guardian STD provided at no cost to employee Guardian LTD Guardian basic life & AD&D at no cost to employee and Guardian supplemental basic life & AD&D.

• Hiring/Staffing : Their career page is They used Tech Recruiters before but they were not producing. Plus people tried to negotiate too much at the end. They asked the CTO who to use and she immediately asked for us. They dont want to renegotiate with candidates at the end. They like a pipeline of candidates in case someone falls off. They dont want to have to start the search again. They targeted Wayfair (too expensive) and chewy. Working for Shopify is a big plus.
• Offers: There is no bonus for roles under director. They will get 2 offers to choose from with different stock options and they will not renegotiate. For the higher base salaries they will get 15K in stock options. The stock value for 15K in stock options is about $52K in todays value but if they get to a 10x and $500 million acquisition that would be $520K. For a midlevel salary offers theyd get 20K in stock. The stock value for 20K in stock options is about $87.5K in todays value but at 10X growth and acquisition that puts it at $875K. At a lower salary theyd get 25K in stock. Chewy sold at $3.5 billion with the same team and they have no doubt this will be in that ballpark too.
• Personalities : They want people that get things done have a low ego can take responsibility and have an ownership mindset. They have a strong cameras on culture and they are highly communicative with a lot of humor. They like people that have experience in a startup and working with a lean team. Also someone that is ok with oncall support outside of typical working hours. There is a lot of work and they want a hard worker that can be productive quickly. Someone who can see what the problems are and can solve them. They like selfstarters that dont need a lot of hand holding. Ecommerce experience is important and they ideally want someone whos recently worked for an ecomm first platform.

She loved it there and loved her team but was recruited to take over as the CTO at eMed.
