About K4Connect
Founded - 2013 | Morrisville / Research Triangle, NC | Stage -Venture-backed, Series B/Growth
Highlight
K4Connect provides senior living technology that connects resident engagement, staff workflows, smart devices, and community operations.
Problem
Senior living communities often run on disconnected tools for communication, engagement, smart-home controls, operations, and resident support. That fragmentation creates extra work for staff and a less connected experience for older adults. K4Connect gives elder care a smarter approach.
USP
K4Connect’s FusionOS and K4Community platforms bring applications, services, and smart devices into one senior-living SaaS ecosystem. The company’s name has a personal origin. The ‘K’ references F. Scott’s wife and three daughters, all of whose names begin with the letter K.
