Wisdo operates an online social‑health platform that connects members to customized peer‑to‑peer networks and weekly virtual coaching, organized across more than 50 communities (mental illness, physical activity, identity, family, etc.). Members complete monthly assessments using validated measures (UCLA loneliness scale, HRQL, PHQ, GAD) and are matched with trained peers who provide emotional support and social‑skill coaching. The company reports over 500,000 adults have joined the platform and cites measurable improvements in quality of life and reductions in loneliness and medical costs. In a 2021 Humana pilot of 1,400 Medicare Advantage members (avg. age 71), 61% reported reductions in mentally and physically unhealthy days and 59% reported lower loneliness. Wisdo has shifted toward working with major health insurers and self‑insured employers to tie social‑health impact to reductions in cost of care. The company plans to use new funding to broaden the scope of its AI, including automating new administrative tasks. Wisdo is a social platform that connects people seeking help with those who can offer help based on lived experience. Communities on the app focus on physical health, mental health, self-growth, sexuality, identity, and family. The product uses a timeline feature that lets users lay out their experiences in steps and then generates an outline for each life experience. Users can engage in one-on-one conversations grounded in those outlines to share guidance and practical advice. In beta, Wisdo grew to 500,000 users, and CEO Boaz Gaon frames the product as building a map for life’s emotional challenges by sharing earned wisdom. Investors and supporters say the app aims to reward empathy and helpfulness as an alternative to generalized social networks.
