Founder's Story
Why we Built KONVOY—the first Private wellness check
The day I lost touch with my Grandma
Something just felt off.
I quickly learned I only had two options: Worry and wait, or call 911.
I didn’t think the lights, sirens, and neighborhood drama of an emergency response was right for a simple wellness check—so I chose to worry and wait. The waiting was anxiety-ridden and awful.
I couldn’t believe that in this day and age, there was no way to send a trusted professional to simply knock on the door and check on my Grandma.
(PS: My Grandma had just forgotten to charge her phone.)
—Elizabeth Fay, KONVOY Co-founder
We needed a better way
Not in theory. Not from market research. Not because we saw a business gap. Because we felt the need.
Elizabeth led the charge, but as our founding team came together, we quickly realized this anxiety wasn’t hers alone. The exact same story was playing out in all of our lives:
Co-founder, John Schumacher needed a better way to reach his aging parents.
Brand Lead, Will Beck needed a better way to check on his mom while raising young kids of his own.
Head Specialist, Mike Mueller deals with underlying worry every day, even when his parents live locally.
Different families. Same problem.
When someone you love is alone and something feels off, families deserve a better choice than agonizing worry or jumping straight to a 911 emergency line.
That is why KONVOY exists. Once we compared what we were all experiencing, the solution became obvious.
We built the service we needed for our own peace of mind, and designed it so your family can have the exact same assurance.
KONVOY is your family's private wellness check.
