At TRAXyL, we are turning every road into a digital highway with our product: FiberTRAX. FiberTRAX is the pathway for any city or town to enable a data driven future. FiberTRAX is a smarter optical fiber distribution system that can be used by municipalities, Internet service providers and anyone looking to distribute optical fiber. FiberTRAX protects fiber strands with a highly durable, road-surface bonding material that avoids the cost of trenching. Applying fiber directly to the road is more efficient, less expensive, safer and easier to install and repair than all other industry distribution techniques. This universal technology can stand alone or enhance existing networks. FiberTRAX is a “last mile” solution that provides communities and disconnected areas with the connectivity necessary for essential Internet services.

In 2020, unpaid family caregivers provided an estimated 34+ billion hours of care, worth over $470 billion to the economy. COVID-19 devastated our care infrastructure, and millions left the workforce to provide care in the home. As baby boomers age into retirement and increase demand for home care services, quality care becomes harder for families to find and afford. Now more than ever, families are compelled to provide increasingly complex care in the home as a safer, more affordable option for long-term care. Aidaly trains and employs family caregivers for the work they already do. We’re backed with $8.5m in Seed funding from a world-class group of investors, including SevenSevenSix, Scribble Ventures, Operator Partners, Primetime partners, Precursor, and many angels with deep fintech and healthcare experiences. Please note that all interviews will be scheduled by direct representatives of Aidaly with @aidaly.com email addresses. Do not send sensitive personal information to any other email addresses when applying for roles at Aidaly.
