Building a Marketing Team from the Ground Up

 
 

As an early-stage startup, DUOS is reimagining the future of aging by building solutions to improve plan performance and enhance the continuum of care.

It’s a courageous and inspirational goal we were proud to be part of and bring to the attention of older adults. It’s caught the attention of investors, too, raising more than $33M in funding since inception.
