Introducing Dorvie

by Eric Letsinger, CEO

We are thrilled to announce the creation of Quantified Ventures’ newest company, which provides curated collections of home services from trusted providers to enable adults who want to stay in their home as they age to remain independent and socially connected.

Meet Dorvie!

Dorvie has launched in the Washington, DC, metro area, and plans to expand to additional markets later this year.

Check out this introductory video and sign up for the Dorvie email list to learn more about the company and service areas:

 
 

Dorvie emerged from the Quantified Ventures Solution Studio where leaders embark on a rigorous process of market research, data analytics, user discovery, prototype development, and concept vetting with inter-disciplinary experts elected to segment the problem, design/select scalable solutions, capitalize the initiative, and ultimately bring the solution to market.

In this case, leaders of a group of non-profit senior care organizations designed and ultimately provided seed funding to hire a Dorvie team with backgrounds in management, technology, operations, and customer service to launch and grow this valuable service to provide peace of mind for those aging in place and their loved ones.

Bold Solutions for People and Planet

Dorvie is the latest example of Quantified Ventures’ commitment to scale bold, investible solutions to improve the health of people and our planet.

Our first subsidiary, ReHarvest Partners and its Soil and Water Outcomes Fund, resulted from a collaborative partnership with the Iowa Soybean Association. This enterprise profitably pays farmers to implement conservation agriculture practices that sequester more carbon in soil and improve water quality in local streams and rivers. In 2021, the Soil and Water Outcomes Fund paid participating farmers an average of $31+ per acre and produced these environmental outcomes:

  • 111,500 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents sequestered (equivalent to removing 24,250 cars from the road for a year)

  • Approximately 1.9 million pounds of nitrogen and 112,400 pounds of phosphorus prevented from entering local streams and rivers

When Quantified Ventures identifies a gap in the environmental, health, and social services markets calling out for an innovative solution, we collaborate with problem owners to address the need. So, please check out Dorvie and know that both the Dorvie and Quantified Ventures teams welcome your input, ideas, and support on every phase of our respective journeys!
