History

Cariloop, Inc. was founded in July 2012 by Michael Walsh and Steven Theesfeld. The company completed the Health Wildcatters accelerator program in 2013 and launched version one of its website in 2014. Version one of Cariloop.com was a search wizard that matched users with care providers based on pricing, location, type of care, and availability. The company's original business model was comparable to a referral service, similar to A Place for Mom. The company partnered with the Texas Organization of Residential Care Homes during the first version of its product.

The company shifted its focus from care providers to caregivers, which led to the launching of the second version of Cariloop.com in August 2015. The second platform included healthcare coaching services and an online case management portal.

Funding

After graduating from Health Wildcatters in 2013, Cariloop raised $400,000 in seed funding. The company also won $50,000 in prize money at the National Angel Summit in 2014. In 2015, Cariloop raised $180,000 from its seed round investors.
