Founding of iN2L

Since its inception in 1999, iN2L grew from a groundbreaking idea into the leading provider of person-centered engagement technology now used in thousands of senior living communities across the United States. iN2L is now proudly residing under the LifeLoop umbrella.
Establishment of TaleGate
Building on the success of iN2L, Jack York founded TaleGate in 2022, a company dedicated to capturing and distributing the stories of individuals living and working in senior living communities. Jack has travelled over 200,000 miles and visited several hundred senior living communities in a quest to capture as many stories as possible. Through documentaries, personal interviews and soon to be published books, TaleGate enables older adults to share their life stories and experiences, preserving valuable personal histories and creating meaningful interactions. The platform combines York’s expertise in technology with his commitment to enhancing the human experience. Through various social media outlets, these stories have garnered over 15 million views and tens of thousands of followers.

His work has been highlighted in the Wall Street Journal, NPR and dozens of senior living publications.
