We built Alula because we lived it.

Between the four of us, we've spent years navigating dementia and Parkinson's disease — as clinicians who've sat across from thousands of families at the hardest moment of their lives, and as caregivers who've made those same calls home at 11pm not knowing what to do next.

We know what families are handed after a diagnosis: a pamphlet, a referral, and a door that closes behind them. We know what it costs — the hours, the arguments, the guilt, the grief that starts long before any loss. And we know that the families doing this work deserve far better than what exists.

Alula is what we built because nothing out there was good enough.

Jason Eversole, Founder, Operations & Product

Jason Eversole

Founder & CEO

Jason has spent his career solving one problem in different forms: how do you coordinate complex systems in real time when the stakes are high and the margin for error is zero?

As a Marine-trained air traffic controller, the answer meant keeping aircraft safe. As a supply chain executive, it meant building one of the largest real-time carrier networks in the world — over 600,000 carriers — at FourKites, a venture-backed platform used by some of the biggest companies on earth.

Then his family became caregivers. And he realized the coordination problem was the same one he'd spent his career solving, just applied to the most important network of all: the people caring for someone you love.

He built Alula because that problem deserved a real solution.

Bridgid Eversole

Co-Founder & Chief Community Officer

Bridgid is an opera singer, a voice teacher, and a caregiver — and for the past decade, those roles have been inseparable.

Her father has lived with Parkinson's disease for years. Her mother has had Alzheimer's for eight. She has been showing up for both of them — as their advocate, their navigator, and the person guiding her father through the final chapter of his life.

She brings her training as a vocalist directly to the Parkinson's community, leading a choir specifically for people living with the disease. Using her deep expertise in the vocal instrument — the same instrument Parkinson's progressively steals — she works alongside ENT physicians to help patients strengthen the muscles that matter most.

Her writing is what caregivers share at 2am when they need to feel less alone. It is not content. It is testimony.

Justin Mutter, MD

Co-Founder & Chief Health Officer

Justin is a board-certified geriatrician and a Rhodes Scholar. He has spent his career caring for older adults and their families at the most difficult moments of their lives — the diagnosis, the middle-stage crisis, the end-of-life conversation that most families never have until it's too late.

He brings the same voice to his Alula writing that he uses with his patients: warm, direct, clinically precise, and built on hundreds of real conversations with real families. His content is written to an academic standard — peer-reviewed references, sources you can look up — but reads like the conversation you wish you'd had with your doctor.

Kathryn Mutter, MD, MPH

Co-Founder & Chief Education Officer

Kathryn is a board-certified emergency physician, a public health researcher, and one of the most decorated medical educators in her field — a recipient of the Dean's Excellence in Teaching Award and the Patient Experience Award, and a member of her institution's Academy for Excellence in Education.

She sees patients at the crisis point — when something went wrong and the family wasn't prepared. A fall. A medication error. A behavioral episode that didn't have to become an ER visit. Her clinical work has made her deeply focused on the question that drives everything she brings to Alula: what do families need to know early, so the crisis never comes?

Her grandmother is 109 years old. Kathryn has watched up close what it looks like when someone is cared for well — with intention, with coordination, with love that has a plan behind it. She knows what that takes. And she knows most families don't have the information or support to pull it off.

Her teaching philosophy comes down to one word: empathy. It shows in how she trains physicians. It shows in how she writes.

Built for families. By family.

Alula is what happens when people who understand this problem finally build the thing they wished existed.
