K4Connect

CEO: F. Scott Moody

K4Connect, founded in 2013, uses the power of the Internet of Things to help senior citizens and individuals living with disabilities.

The Raleigh, N.C.-based company's solution, K4Community, is designed to connect senior living communities and improve living situations for elderly citizens. The solution uses sensors to enable a "responsive home," so temperature and lights automatically adjust to user preferences. The company's IoT platform also enables users to track their health and fitness, and keep in touch with family members through a complementary mobile platform. In October, Intel Capital announced that it would invest in K4Connect.
