Elder, a leading UK live-in care platform, has been named the UK’s number one AgeTech Company by Beauhurst.
Elder earned itself the coveted position as part of a top ten list compiled by the UK-based data and research platform.
Beauhurst’s ranking recognises companies that are not only rapidly scaling but are disrupting traditional, outdated models.
Earlier this month Elder won the Innovation In Home Care Tech Category at the Leaders in Care Awards.
Elder’s Founder and CEO Pete Dowd said that the ranking validated his and Elder’s belief that technology was the key to delivering personalised, fast and trusted, one-to-one care at home.

“Our care recipient to carer matching technology has helped match 5,000 vetted carers with some 100,000 families across the UK,” he said.
“There are currently two million older people in England living with some unmet need for social care, and coupled with an older population projected to grow much faster than its working-age population, we need agile but safe care solutions to address such problems”.
“Being named the UK’s top AgeTech company by Beauhurst is not only a vote of confidence for Elder but for our amazing network of carers and the thousands of families that have entrusted them to support their loved ones.”
The Beauhurst ranking also coincides, to the month, with Elder’s tenth year as a company. Mr Dowds founded Elder after struggling to find the right care for his late Gran, Frances.
“Our journey over the past decade has been about building a system that is human-centred, yet technology-driven,” he said.
“We’ve focused on using smart technology coupled with our dedicated, industry leading engineering, data science, care advisor, clinical and customer support teams to help families avoid the pain points that I encountered navigating the care system.
“Our ten years as a company isn’t just about reflecting on growth, it’s about acknowledging the shift we’ve made in the care sector towards choice and independence at home for those who need it most.”
