WASHINGTON - TelAve -- Sam, The Support Platform for Women™, today celebrates one year since launching its expert support marketplace tailored for women carrying it all, including work, home, health, and eldercare. In a time of AI shortcuts, shrinking support, and a growing eldercare crisis, Sam stands apart as a comprehensive on-demand solution for women seeking real human expertise that enables them to feel seen and prepared. Support is booked online instantly with highly vetted and certified female experts (>1% acceptance rate) from across the country. Sam is not just a destination for support and information, but a human-first place for women to safeguard their progress and realize their potential.

Women are not okay
The need for support exists and continues to grow. A March 2026 survey conducted by Sam (https://www.wearesam.co/) to women over 35, found that 81% of women report that life events are increasingly complex and compounding as they age. While 86% of women have faced a recent destabilizing event, the resources to manage them remain scarce. And 72% of American women feel they lack the adequate emotional and practical support required to navigate major life transitions like eldercare, job loss, or bereavement.

Last year alone, 455,000 women exited the workforce. Women are five times more likely than their male counterparts to forfeit their careers to care for loved ones. Forty-two percent cited caregiving as the main reason they walked away. Sam (https://www.wearesam.co/) exists because these losses are preventable. Seventy-one percent of these women would have remained in their roles had adequate support been available.

"We knew this problem was coming, the signs have been there for a while. The explosion of an aging Boomer population combined with other economic and political headwinds place women in a vulnerable position. We're proud to be able to help," said Founder and CEO, Abby Nydam.

What's Ahead: Scaling
This year, Sam will grow its support for working women and families. Sam will prioritize the rollout of Sam for Employers (https://wearesam.co/for-employers), a turnkey model designed to put Sam support directly into employee benefit packages. It is a simple and convenient way for companies to support the women they hire and promote female workforce longevity within an organization. By providing support for the hard parts of life – like caring for aging parents or navigating a loss – Sam can provide women with real support and actionable strategies before they have to make the difficult decision to stay or leave a job.
