For Karl Ulfers, Co-Founder and CEO of DUOS, starting a company wasn’t only about finding a profitable niche—it was about solving a real problem. With more than 10,000 people turning 65 every day, the aging population is growing rapidly, yet so many older adults face barriers in accessing the resources they need to live fulfilling lives at home. Inspired by personal experiences with his 95-year-old grandparents, Karl set out to create DUOS—a technology-driven solution that bridges the gap in healthcare for older adults, making healthcare accessible, easier to understand, and more human.
The problem is significant, but Karl’s passion for solving it is matched by the company’s strategic approach. DUOS provides older adults with access to social resources like food, transportation, and home safety, as well as the quality healthcare they deserve through Medicare Advantage plans. DUOS isn’t just offering a service—it’s addressing a critical need that’s often overlooked.
Karl's success at DUOS comes from identifying the intersection of business needs and the pain points of underserved populations. With the right team, a deep understanding of the market, and a commitment to creating true value for older adults, DUOS is transforming how we think about aging and healthcare—paving the way for a healthier, more independent future for older adults.
