Our FierceCos

About DOVE

An AI-powered app transforming dementia care. The problem is urgent: dementia cases are expected to triple by 2050, with global care costs surpassing $2.8 trillion. Yet today, care is fragmented and overwhelming for both patients and caregivers.DOVE solves this with always-on, personalized AI support. It helps reduce stress, improve care quality, and ease the burden on families and the healthcare system. It’s care that adapts—day or night, in the moments that matter most.

About Hey Ivy

A personalized investing platform designed for women. The gender wealth gap persists, and it’s driven in part by a financial literacy gap. Women are underrepresented in wealth-building conversations and underserved by traditional financial tools. Hey Ivy solves this with a female-focused, behavior-based AI. It personalizes education, community, and investing tools to match how women interact with tech and money-making financial empowerment, accessible, bite-sized, and actionable.

About the Founder: Tess is a financial educator and founder of Wealth with Tess, a community helping millennial women achieve financial independence through simple, no-jargon investing strategies.
