Biography
Seth Sternberg is a pioneer and entrepreneur at the intersection of AI, aging, and
mission-driven innovation. As CEO and Co-Founder of Honor Technology, he leads the largest home care network in the western hemisphere, delivering over 60 million hours of in-home support annually to older adults.
Seth set out to solve one of the world’s most urgent but under-addressed challenges: to change the way society cares for older adults. He and Honor’s co-founders developed an AI-powered platform that not only helps older adults remain safely at home but also redesigns frontline jobs to improve stability, respect, and retention of caregivers, known as Honor Care Pros.
Under Seth’s leadership, Honor became a rare example of a tech company using AI not for novelty, but for scale, trust, and life-altering human outcomes. Long before generative AI became a trend, Honor was using machine learning to optimize care matches, reduce churn, and respond to the exploding demand for aging services. Its model has become a blueprint for a new wave of AI-powered rollups in traditional industries, what the VC world now calls “AI x legacy.”
To extend this vision, Seth later spearheaded Honor’s acquisition of Home Instead, combining cutting-edge technology with a trusted global care brand to redefine aging at home. Today, through Home Instead’s 1,200+ locations across six countries, more than 100,000 Care Pros deliver compassionate, technology-enabled support that helps older adults age well at home.
Prior to Honor, Seth co-founded Meebo, the web’s first real-time messaging platform that reached nearly half of the U.S. internet users before being acquired by Google. At Google, he led development of Google Sign-In – if you’re ever used Google to sign-in to a third party web site, you’ve used his product. A Yale alum, Seth began his career in IBM’s Corporate Development Group.
Today, Seth is a trusted voice on the future of aging, the ethics of applied AI, future of aging policy, and scaling mission-driven companies. He mentors early-stage founders and remains deeply committed to tech that elevates human dignity. He is an avid cyclist and enjoys spending time with his wife and two children.
