Cohort 01 — Now accepting applications
Est. 2024 · Orange County, CA

An accelerator for innovation in aging.

The pipeline of breakthrough ideas for older adults is stronger than ever — from Stanford, Penn, Johns Hopkins, and Cedars-Sinai to a wave of founders. What's missing isn't ideas. It's real-world environments to prove they work.

Stanford UPenn Johns Hopkins Cedars-Sinai & independent founders

Every other industry gets the pilot studies, the test fleets, the real-world feedback loops. Aging has mostly been left to guess. We built the infrastructure to change that — and opened it up.

Built on a living dataset.

ISAI isn't a theoretical lab. It operates inside an active senior living ecosystem — communities, operators, and real estate ownership, running on a unified data fabric. That's the environment your solution gets to prove itself in.

From promising idea to proven outcome — and, when it fits, to capital.

Four stages, one continuous loop. Founders don't hand us a pitch deck and hope. They come in, they run, they get data, and they leave with something buyers, boards, and investors can actually believe.

/ 01
Identify

We source promising ideas across startups, universities, and clinical teams. We filter ruthlessly — the bar is plausibility of impact inside real senior living environments.

Active
/ 02
Validate

Selected teams deploy inside our communities. Real residents. Real caregivers. Real constraints. We structure the pilot, align the stakeholders, and protect the ethics.

Active
/ 03
Generate Outcomes

Our data fabric turns every pilot into structured evidence — resident outcomes, operational lift, family engagement, clinical signal. Data you can take anywhere.

Active
/ 04
Connect to Capital

When the outcomes merit it and the fit is mutual, we introduce the strongest teams to aligned capital partners — at meaningfully better terms than a cold pitch.

New Stage

Four kinds of partners. One shared goal: make aging better, on evidence.

/ Founders & Startups

You have a solution. You need real ground.

If you're building for older adults — clinical AI, sensors, family tech, operational tools — we give you the environment, the data, and the structure to prove it works where it matters.

Apply to validate →
/ Academic & Clinical Teams

Translate research into lived outcomes.

Access a vast, anonymized, longitudinal data environment across assisted living and memory care — and run studies that actually reach practice.

Partner with us →
/ Operators & Ownership

Bring tomorrow's tools to your communities, today.

Join the validation network. Get first access to vetted innovation, stronger outcomes for residents, and an edge that's measurable — not marketing.

Join the network →
/ Capital Partners

Deal flow, already proven.

When outcomes are real and the fit is mutual, we make introductions. Less time diligencing claims. More time backing signal.

Explore partnership →

Talk to your senior living data. Turn every pilot into a story that holds up.

ISAI unifies structured data, documents, and IoT signal into one governed fabric. Medical devices. EHR. eMAR. CRM. Finance. HR. All anchored to a single source of truth — and built to support real AI models, not dashboards pretending to be intelligence.

That's what turns a pilot into evidence, and evidence into capital.

The people who would know if it wasn't working.

Caregivers can now share routine updates throughout the day, and save time for valuable face-to-face interaction and meaningful care conversations.
Kody Grode Associate Executive Director · Ativo Senior Living, Yuma, AZ
Combining all tools into one workflow accelerated onboarding, assessment, and payment flow. Families embrace options to provide feedback through mobile and automated surveys.
Rebecca Ratliff Executive Director · Ativo Prescott Valley, AZ
The data-driven approach to enhance resident outcomes was a paradigm shift for us. Collecting extensive, trusted data allows us to drive staff efficiency and resident outcomes.
Debora Maynard Director of Sales & Marketing · Park Terrace Senior Living, AZ
Most of the best ideas in aging have been starved of a place to run. ISAI gives them ground to stand on — and outcomes the rest of the world will actually believe.
— ISAI Principle The case for this work

If you're building something that could change aging — come prove it here.

Cohort 01 is open. We review applications on a rolling basis and make decisions quickly. Bring the work. We'll bring the environment, the data, and the network.
