Dignity is an online care coordination platform designed for the caregiving industry. It is a one-stop destination that will cater to all the communicational and operational needs for all shareholders involved in the industry, including care recipients, care providers, and caregiving agencies.
3. How do you feel the RBC EPICentre Founders Program will be beneficial for your business?
The biggest advantage of being in the Founders Program is that we have access to a plethora of really resourceful individuals who are readily available to help us navigate through the barriers that come up during the various stages of development.
4. Why do you feel it’s important to have a company like yours in our community?
The current turn of events has shown everybody how important essential services like caregiving are for our society.

The goal for the end of this program is to come up with a customer-validated porotype for Dignity, one that assures us success for our business when launched in the market.
