ABOUT DWEL

Built where aging, caregiving, enterprise and technology converge.

DWEL is the workforce productivity platform for employee caregivers. It takes the recurring, non-clinical work of caregiving off the employee's plate and closes the loop with the family.

Chris RichChris RichDWEL's first investor, advisor and friend
A NAME WITH A PURPOSE

Why is our AI Agent named Chris?

I received a phone call on April 2nd, 2026, informing me that my good friend Chris Rich passed away from a heart attack the evening before. I was stunned. Chris was only 63 years old. He was super-fit and I didn’t remember him ever being sick a day in his life. How could that happen?

DWEL’s Leadership meeting was scheduled to begin in 20 minutes. Every one of our team members knew the impact that Chris had on DWEL. Chris wasn’t just an Advisor. He was a Cheerleader. He wasn’t just our first Investor. He worked hard to find additional investors. And Chris was not just a friend. He was one of my closest friends. What do I say to my team?

I mumbled the tragic news as best I could. A few minutes of silence. Then Cheryl, our CTO, spoke. “What I remember most about Chris is that he always asked a million questions. But it wasn’t because Chris wanted to know the answer. It was because he wanted to help us find the answer. He was always looking for ways to help.”

Cheryl paused, then continued. “That’s what our AI Agent does: asks questions and finds the answers, always looking for ways to help. I think that we should name our Agent ‘Chris’ to honor him.”

My team’s response was immediate and unanimous. ‘Chris’ will be a key member of DWEL forever.
