At Tendertec, we’re tackling one of today’s biggest challenges: the critical shortage of care workers. With the UK alone short by over 100,000 caregivers, millions of vulnerable people urgently need support. We’re on a mission to bridge these gaps using Human-Centric AI, helping caregivers provide better care to more people—without burning out.

Afroditi Konidari and Rui Zhang didn’t just build Tendertec—they lived its mission. From their own personal journeys of remotely caring for their parents struggling with multiple chronic conditions, they deeply understand the emotional and practical challenges families face. Afroditi’s and Rui’s backgrounds in engineering and AI inspired them to assemble a compassionate team of caregivers, bringing genuine empathy and deep insight into everything they create.
We imagine a future where technology feels natural in our everyday lives, easing the pressure on caregivers and giving people the freedom to live independently for longer. By pioneering Technology-Enabled Care (TEC), Tendertec develops solutions that are personal, preventive, and affordable, specifically tailored to support the growing ageing population and those managing chronic conditions.

Accountability and excellence in every promise. We take pride in our excellent work and are not afraid to roll up our sleeves when it’s time to deliver.

We prioritise making AI transparent and understandable, ensuring it is a tool that enhances and complements care without replacing the human touch.
