Capital Raising / Financial Advisor for Early Stage Age Tech Startup

I'm the solo founder of CLIQ, a family-collaborative digital safety platform built to help older adults navigate technology safely without sacrificing independence. We're pre-seed, preparing for accelerator applications (AARP Age Tech Collaborative, rolling monthly applications with next submission date 8/31/26) and early fundraising. I need a fractional finance partner to help me raise efficiently and stay clean as money comes in. CLIQ begins with a Chrome browser extension that checks websites during everyday browsing and creates a calm Pause & Review moment when something looks suspicious, before a password is entered or money moves. The older adult stays in control and can involve trusted family on terms they set themselves. I built CLIQ from concept to an installable protected alpha in eight weeks, including the product architecture, browser extension, backend, design system, marketing website, and roughly 50 new or updated UI screens across extension, web, desktop, and mobile surfaces. Before testing with older adults and families, I've brought on a senior security engineer to review the full backend and help ensure the product’s security claims hold up under real scrutiny. I’m also developing research and pilot collaborations with university professors across aging, accessibility, human-computer interaction, and cybersecurity. That work is intended to keep CLIQ grounded in evidence: not just whether it catches risky moments, but whether older adults understand it, trust it, and continue to feel in charge. My background spans human lifespan development, behavioral health, health technology, product strategy, and independent technical execution. I’m especially interested in the intersection of cybersecurity, family caregiving, accessible design, and the systems that help people remain capable and connected as they age. CLIQ’s long-term ambition is to become the trusted support layer for later life. Browser protection is the wedge; consent-based family coordination, safe assistance, and senior-living distribution are the foundation for what comes next. I’m bootstrapped and looking to connect with early-stage investors, senior-living and aging organizations, researchers, and technical leaders who believe digital safety should strengthen independence, not replace it.
