Supportiv

Berkeley, CA

Therapy isn't for everyone. Connecting with peers going through the same life struggle has been proven as useful, and often more effective, in dozens of clinically-validated research studies. Supportiv is delivering instantaneous peer support as mass-market accessible mental health care for the 80% of adults with typical work stress, family pressures, sadness, anxiety or loneliness, who don’t want or need a therapist. Supportiv is *better* than real-life peer support -- easier to access, more precise, and quicker to help. Suportiv uses AI-driven natural language processing (NLP) to route each user, based on any single thought they express, in real time, to a topic-specific peer support group that dynamically convenes for users with similar issues. Each group has a *super-powered* human moderator who keeps the chat safe and troll-free and is able, again through NLP, to surface precisely relevant resources, recommendations, and referrals right into the group conversation in real-time.
