Head of Operations
About Sunbound
Company. Sunbound is building the “financial OS for senior care”. The current senior care payments experience is broken which increases costs and inefficiencies for senior living operators while making it confusing, cumbersome and stressful for families. Sunbound was created to solve this problem by building the first modern platform to handle this process end-to-end and save operators and families time, money and effort.
Mission. Our founders were inspired to start the business after seeing the pain points firsthand with their own families, and deeply care about helping one of the most overlooked groups in our population: seniors. Sunbound’s mission is to make managing money for senior living easy, so our customers can focus on what really matters: providing quality housing & care.
Team. We're a small, tight-knit team. We are focused on growing our offices in Washington, DC and NYC (downtown Brooklyn).
Traction. Since launching in mid-2023, we now serve thousands of families. We’re currently doing 7 figures in ARR.
Growth. Sunbound has absolutely caught fire as a business, growing 30% month-over-month. The senior living market is massive at >$230b and is expected to grow rapidly as the “baby boomer” generation continues to age.
Funding. We've raised now three rounds of funding from top-tier investors including Fika Ventures, Bling Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, LiveOak Bank, Cambrian Ventures and Max Ventures. These firms have collectively backed over 20 unicorns such as Square, Lyft and Rippling.

Timing! Sunbound is at an inflection point. Every month, we reach new levels of scale. We’ve proven we can execute on the basics; now we need to repeat and build on that success.
