Welcome Kenko to the cohort 6 spotlight! Kenko bridges the gap between physical therapists and patients with a user-friendly mobile platform, ensuring consistent and effective home exercise, enhancing recovery, and promoting optimal health for everyone involved. Joe and Allen first learned about the Long Beach Accelerator when their co-founder, Allen Song, had the opportunity to hear Andrea White-Kjoss speak at a USC event. The positive feedback from friends who participated in a previous cohort further piqued their interest. They were compelled to join because of our belief in the significant growth and networking opportunities that LBA and Sunstone could uniquely offer. They believed the support could effectively address the areas where they sought further enhancement and connections, contributing substantially to our venture's advancement.
