    Doesn’t call 911? Tech savvy elderly are already wearing an Apple Watch (or similar) paired with their phone. For the (more common) non-tech savvy elderly, the solution needs to be Very Simple—including charging. This already seems too fiddly for its target audience.

    Yea… Grandpa and grandma will accidentally touch that button…

    I was just thinking last night, “everyone’s robot should replace their phone since it should follow them around anyway, a robot and a wrist mounted screen, that’s the move!”

    Brilliant, minus the monthly charge. Add Bluetooth and it should just be able to use your phone’s service like any other headphone set.

    The intention is good, but a???? phone cane is a bad idea.

    I can see seniors right now accidentally pressing that call button and worrying loved-ones only to find out its just another butt-dial from Grandma. And that monthly fee isn’t all that impressive either. Might as well get a smart watch or phone thats senior-friendly.

    As someone who uses a stick/cane and a lover of all things tech, I kind of like it. My one concern though is, what’s it’s IP rating? It rains a lot here on the west coast of Wales and if the IP rating isn’t good enough all that tech could be dead in not a very long time.

    In addition to the phone, the cane needs to also function as a gun and pepper spray deterrent.

More than 90 percent of American-caught fish is processed overseas, and often in China, before it comes back to the U.S. Shin K wants to change that with robotics, computer vision, and a vertically integrated supply chain built from scratch.

At StrictlyVC Los Angeles 2026, TechCrunch Editor in Chief Connie Loizos sat down with Saif Khawaja, founder and CEO of Shin K, and Delian Asparouhov of Founders Fund to talk about one of the most unexpected bets in venture capital right now.

They cover everything from the Japanese fish-killing technique that became a startup thesis, why American fish is now being imported into Japanese fish markets for the first time ever, and how Founders Fund thinks about contrarian bets in food and agriculture.
