Not a Gadget, But a Pulse
If you look at BeWell superficially, you see a small, stubborn piece of hardware designed for the elderly. A panic button. But to an investor, a button is a commodity. It’s hard hardware to sell.
We realized early on: we are not selling a box; we are selling the absence of anxiety.
The device works where smartphones fail. It is the resilient entry point. But the subscription model is the economy, and the Portal is the brain. We built a "Mission Control Center" for families, social services, and clinics.
An Empty Construction Site
When I arrived as Growth Architect, I expected a broken machine I needed to fix. Instead, I found a void. There was no machine. No team, no process, no infrastructure. Just the product and the ambition.
I didn't step in to "optimize." I stepped in to build. I assembled the contractors for PR, SMM, Dev, CRM, and Outreach. I sourced manufacturing partners in China. We rebuilt the visual identity from the ground up because the old one couldn't support the weight of our new ambition. It wasn't about drama; it was the realization that if I didn't architect the system, it simply wouldn't exist.
Repairing the Route, Not the Engine
The most common mistake in startups is to pour traffic into a black hole. Everyone wanted to "run ads." But I saw that the device worked fine—the *process* around it was fractured.
CRM lived in one dimension; R&D in another. A lead would come in and fall into an abyss. Traffic without infrastructure is vanity. The insight was simple: Don't fix the product. Fix the route.
I connected the R&D data flow directly into our CRM. I aligned the contractors so they weren't just executing tasks but building a cohesive journey. We didn't just "get leads"; we engineered a path where a user could flow seamlessly from curiosity to purchase to onboarding.
The Permanent Billboard
Why would a software-driven company source physical kiosks in China? It sounds like logistical hell. But it solved a problem digital ads couldn't touch.
Our audience visits clinics and senior centers daily. A website explains, but a website is transient. A kiosk standing in a hallway is a fact. It is a permanent billboard that lives where the problem is most acute.
From Gadget to Infrastructure
The pivot to B2B wasn't born of desperation; it was born of maturity. We saw that partners—clinics, insurers, enterprises—were tired of manual management. They wanted an API. They wanted a dashboard.
We built the Partner Portal not just to sell more, but to transition from being a "vendor of boxes" to an "infrastructure provider." We moved from selling devices to selling the ecosystem that manages safety. That is where the scale lies.
Built the entire function from scratch. Turned zero processes into a full network.
Reworked the visual layer completely. Rebuilt design system and brand.
Connected CRM and communications. Eliminated lead leakage.
Launched physical kiosks as permanent touchpoints in high-density locations.
Rolled out API and Partner Portal to meet enterprise baseline expectations.
Shifted positioning from “selling a device” to “safety ecosystem”.
