#48: Disruptive Innovation | Dan Josebachvili, CEO and Founder of Silvertree

About this episode

Creating a tech device specifically designed for older adults might seem like a tough sell. But having the right approach and a great spokesperson makes all the difference.

This week, I’m speaking with Dan Josebachvili. He’s the Founder and CEO of Silvertree, which makes a safety wearable for older adults. Dan was part of the founding team at Urban Escapes, an adventure-travel company which was eventually acquired by LivingSocial. After that, he spent a few years developing strategic partnerships for ad-tech giant, Epsilon, got a graduate degree, and worked with ZX Ventures, the venture capital arm of Anheuser-Busch, where he led the deal on the acquisition of Cutwater Spirits.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The key to marketing a tech device to an often tech-averse demographic
• The opportunities for growth within the Boomer Plus generation and how disruptive innovation makes it possible
• Don’t settle for what you have. The journey is never over and Dan has a great mantra to help us keep it in mind.
