Tellus

What Tellus does

Tellus is a private AgeTech company founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco. The company operates an online platform (tellusyoucare.com) that delivers actionable health information in real time to improve eldercare quality and efficiency, serving aging populations and their caregivers. Its stated customer segments span senior and aging-population users along with adjacent end-of-life planning and independent-living support, positioning Tellus inside a niche where consumer health data, AI-driven workflows, and aging-in-place demand intersect.

The platform integrates AI across multiple eldercare workflows: motion assistance, radar-based health monitoring, empathetic care advisors, prescription management, and interventions targeting social isolation. The current product surface indicates a multi-modality approach rather than a single point solution, with process automation explicitly applied to prescription management and care coordination. Technology categorization flags AI as a featured capability applied to senior-care use cases, though the company has not disclosed proprietary models, training data scale, benchmarks, or patents that would substantiate a research-grade AI moat.

On the business model side, Tellus is a for-profit, private venture-backed startup with 11–50 employees. Pricing, contract structure, and revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed. Capitalization includes a Seed round (2018) from NTT DOCOMO Ventures, participation in the MassChallenge accelerator (2021), and a $6.9M Series A (August 2020) led by NTT DOCOMO Ventures with DG Daiwa Ventures, Energy & Environment Investment, UTEC, and All Turtles — a syndicate dominated by Japanese institutional and corporate VCs that strongly implies a US-Japan cross-border commercialization strategy. No revenue, ARR, or paying-customer count has been disclosed.
