> When he needed a shower, Peck — who was 35 at the time — would drive to his parents' home, which happened to be nearby.

Why didn't he then just live with his parents for the 3 months? He still could have go there to get that 'invaluable knowledge'. Nice outcome but the story feels a bit like click-bait...




That was explained: the agreement Peck had with the nursing home way that he stayed there to assuage the owner of the nursing home who thought it was risky adopting their solution.

I about the title being a bit click-baity, but maybe it’s just because I’ve heard too many romanticized stories of founders doing something like this out of financial necessity instead of essentially dogfooding.


It's in the article, the nursing home owner wanted him to be on-site.


Being on-site != lived in


The whole point of the service being 24/7 availability, I can see why he'd stay there overnight
