Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sage Care was a Toronto, Canada-based marketplace connecting families with vetted caregiving professionals who provide in-home care for aging parents in their own neighbourhood. The company was part of Y Combinator's Summer 2016 batch and is categorized by Y Combinator under the Marketplace and Healthcare sectors.
Y Combinator's directory lists the company's status as Inactive, and an aggregator profile similarly reports an Inactive status with no capital raised and a headcount range of 1-10. Vanessa Lee is listed as the founder. The company's former domain, getsagecare.com, no longer resolves to a caregiving product; the page retrieved today contains unrelated online-gambling link spam, consistent with the domain no longer being operated by the company.
Business model
Marketplace model connecting families seeking in-home eldercare with local caregiving professionals; sources do not disclose pricing, take rate, or other monetization details.
Latest developments
The getsagecare.com domain no longer hosts the company's product and instead serves unrelated third-party link-spam content. Y Combinator and a startup directory both list the company as inactive. Note that a separate, unrelated company also operating under the name Sage Care (sage.care), a Palo Alto, California AI care-navigation platform for health systems founded in 2024, announced $20M in funding in October 2025; that entity is a distinct company and its details are not attributed to this profile.
