You know what - I might think this type of thing was insulting and trying to replace livable remuneration and good people management. I will admit, making a difficult (people care centric) job doable, rewarding and with the right amount of purpose and agency, is hard. Especially when caring for elder and folks in (extended) healthcare settings. There is an incentive to getting staff to document care. So this might do a bit in replacing that. With poor management (especially in low pay, low margin spaces that Jolly has been able to sell to) this would be a move in the right direction. I get it. But what I am really interested in is can they expand it and make money at it. I know that doesn't matter to venture types as much but it matters to me because it signals true value. Interesting and I will be watching.
Moira, it is early days for Jolly. But the founder displays a strong sense of purpose and commitment to improving the lot of frontline workers, and an excellent grasp of business model innovation.
As a venture capitalist I’m very interested in how they expand and make money with it. I hope to be standing in the back row when Dean rings the bell on IPO.

If they crack this then we will all be very interested.
