Y Combinator, S26.
Help us turn a working pilot into a category.
The therapist's office is closed. The sponsor isn't picking up. The crisis line will route you through a triage script for forty minutes.
This is where behavioral health actually happens. And this is where it fails.
The category has tried apps, hotlines, telehealth, EHRs. None of them solve the actual gap: the long, lonely hours between appointments.
Relapse is part of the disease.
Connection shortens it.
— What the field gets right, and the software gets wrong.
We can't prevent relapse — the field has known this for decades. What we can do is shorten it. The damage compounds in the disconnection: hours that become days, shame that piles up, a slip that becomes a hospitalization. Beora is the persistent, always-on connective tissue that finds a person in those moments and pulls them back into care.
Beora is organized around twelve dimensions of human life. Each routes to a best-in-class specialist agent — Harvey for legal, Claude for Healthcare, our native Spirit Pharmacist for medication interactions.
Together, every conversation feeds one continuously-synthesizing wiki: a second brain that learns who you are and gets sharper with every interaction.
Like Cursor for behavioral health — the best agent for the moment at hand, orchestrated into a single experience.
Pro routes the right signal to the right person. Clinicians get briefings, not raw data. Advocates get context. The patient gets continuity.
Pro is what we built first.
Consumer is what scales.
We started inside a residential facility because that's where the data, the supervision, and the safety net live. Once the agents are trustworthy in the highest-stakes context, opening to consumers becomes a distribution problem, not a research problem.
This isn't a mockup. It's the live flow running in our pilot today. The engine — XMTP messaging, intent classification, escalation routing — is built and shipping.
Government and commercial payors are absorbing $290B/yr of behavioral health failure. The episodic model can't individualize and can't follow patients home — and disconnection is what lets a slip turn into a hospitalization, a lost job, a custody loss. Payors are moving to value-based contracts that pay for shortening that arc. We deliver them — for the population the playbook hasn't reached: recovery.
We've been the patients. The operators. The builders. All of it.
Every person in recovery has a Beora.
Every facility runs on Beora Pro.
The two halves close the loop.
