Shimmer provides adults with ADHD personalized, 1:1 video coaching combined with productivity tools and science-backed learning modules. Users complete intake questions, are matched with one of Shimmer’s 30+ ADHD coaches, and receive weekly sessions plus ongoing exercises and resources. Pricing tiers start at $140/month for weekly 15-minute sessions, $230/month for 30-minute weekly sessions, and $345/month for 45-minute weekly sessions. Since launching in October 2022, Shimmer coaches have held more than 15,000 coaching sessions and the platform is available on iOS, Android and the web. The founders plan to partner with providers, payors, and employers to reduce out-of-pocket costs and to leverage AI to make coaches more efficient without sacrificing authenticity. Shimmer has begun expanding beyond ADHD to support other neurotypes, including autism, and plans corporate training, community support, and broader personal-development offerings. Shimmer is a consumer app that provides coaching for adults with ADHD via a technology-enabled platform. Its core product pairs users with expert ADHD coaches and delivers "bite-sized" weekly 15-minute live video coaching sessions combined with an accountability system in the app. The program and methodology were developed with ADHD experts from NYU and UCSF. Led by CEO Chris Wang, the platform focuses on integrative, mini coaching sessions and progress tracking through the tech platform. In October 2022 Shimmer raised $1.3M in Seed funding and plans to use the proceeds to accelerate growth, expand operations and broaden its business reach. Backers included Y Combinator, Honeystone Ventures, Koa Labs, Megan Hall and Gaingels.
