Welcome to the show. Good afternoon. Thanks for having me. Absolutely, my friend. I appreciate it. Hailing out of San Diego. I spent some time in the OC. I love to go down to San Diego. So thank you for making the time. Two two hour time difference. No big deal. I'm in Kansas City now. So thank you. Mike, if you don't mind, let's jump into your first question here. Camavision started back in 2014, developing computer vision for home security. and pivoted after families kept asking whether the technology could detect a fall, not just record one.

And what convinced you and the team that senior safety, not security, was where the real undeserved opportunity
Mike Link 2:27
Opportunity was. Yeah, it's a good question. I think I didn't intend to even do this in the first place. I came from another company that I helped go to market that was doing senior tech. And before that, I was kind of like studying and self-funding a project in India related to like preventative health and personalized wellness. Ran out of money, came back to the States, and I all I knew was sales. So I I was consulting this company. Company doing good to market work and then got picked up by Cami because I had experience in the senior care space. And because Cami had done computer vision and done it really well and expanded and grew the business, but didn't have a lot of investors or shareholders, Cami was able to invest a ton of money into RD in a bunch of different areas, one of which was senior care, which I'd kind of come on to do.

Go to market work. And then year after year after year, I made the company a bunch of money in the senior care space and helped clean up a lot of things and doing marketing and support and figuring out problems. Eventually the the guy who like is now the CEO and runs a company had me kind of do it all. So I think the reason I saw over security outer care is a underserved market. One, the obvious thing is the The elder population is growing and not enough senior care homes. Nobody really wants to go to one of these homes. And there's not a ton of really technology to help assist people in aging independently. That this is one thing. The other thing is security is kind of a commodity. And there's a bunch of companies that do it.
Mike Link 3:57
And there's not a whole lot to really differentiate when it comes to home security or security for consumers. So I think that was kind of one of the things that drew me. To this. And it really was something that I related to personally because I've had grandparents and and and people in my life that have fallen and need help or passed due to one of these things.
