Our team is driven by a deeper purpose.

Every day, millions of people provide unpaid care to loved ones in their life. The vast majority of family caregivers get thrown into these stressful care situations with little experience or practical knowledge, and they spend innumerable hours googling how to best navigate care. As a result, they miss out on spending quality time with their families, pursuing careers and caring for themselves consistently. The Cariloop story began with firsthand experience of this exact problem that so many families face.

Co-founders and childhood friends Michael Walsh and Steven Theesfeld each saw the impossibilities that caregivers face as they navigated caring for loved ones early in life. As they later reflected on these lonely and tumultuous experiences, the duo imagined how different things might have been with the right tools and support. In 2012, they decided to launch Cariloop, devoting themselves to changing the way caregivers and families walk this inevitable path.

“No one should ever have to go through caregiving alone,” they decided. With Cariloop on their side, no one would need to.

The traditional healthcare system revolves around three core stakeholders: patients, providers and payers. Caregivers are generally recognized as a part of the care process, but not part of the care solution.

We envision a world where caregivers are adequately supported, armed with the right guidance, and empowered with the tools and information to drive the care process toward a successful, positive outcome.

We see a paradigm shift taking place within this system whereby caregivers are finally recognized for the critical role they play in any patient’s journey. Even more importantly, this shift will significantly improve caregivers’ physical, emotional, social and financial well-being.

At Cariloop, we aim to be a catalyst for change and lead this shift.

In 2022, we dedicated ourselves to using business as a force for good by certifying as a B Corporation™ (B Corp™). Our B Corp Certification requires a rigorous audit of how we govern, manage, impact and operate as a company. We are proud to have met the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability to all of our stakeholders.

Unlike traditional corporations, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders: shareholders, customers, workers, communities and the environment. Our B Corp certification has been a catalyst for future changes and commitments to consider our impact on an internal and global scale.
