About us
Today, more than 56 million families are affected by life-limiting illnesses, and every day they pay the price of an overwhelmingly costly, neglected, inequitable, and inefficient care space. With the rapid aging of the world's population and the ever-growing resource constraints of the healthcare systems, moving towards digital care solutions is inevitable. And we happen to be there at the right place, right time, ready to disrupt and redefine palliative care.
At Pal, we are laying the groundwork to become the leading provider of digital palliative care in the home setting. We’re starting with an app that brings (chosen) families together to better care for their loved ones and manage their core fundamental needs.
We are a VC-backed startup born out of Amsterdam. We are now looking for an ambitious, driven, and collaborative Founder’s Associate to help us grow. If you’re interested, intrigued, touched, curious, or obsessed with Pal already (we know we are), carry on reading.
