Headway is building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability. We all know someone that has struggled with mental health - 1 in 4 people have a treatable mental health condition - but the overwhelming majority don’t get the care they need. The primary reason is cost - seventy percent of therapists don’t accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is usually very, very expensive. Headway is building the first national, virtual network of therapists who accept insurance, helping providers to expand their practices, and individuals to finally find a therapist they can afford. And we’re doing it all through software. We launched in April of 2019 and are already powering thousands of therapy appointments every single day. To scale our mission, we’ve raised funding from the world’s preeminent VCs (backers of Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Uber, Oscar) as well as the nation’s most innovative healthcare entrepreneurs (founders of One Medical, Flatiron Health, and Clover Health). We believe a team's strength is in its people. Headway is solving a national problem of affordability, and we know this cannot be achieved without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and experience. Join us, and make an impact.

We want to radically improve how we humans communicate with each other. Our first step at Ava is to empower 466M deaf and hard-of-hearing people to live in a fully accessible world. Every day, millions of people are excluded from conversations because they cannot hear what others say well. Our CEO Thibault grew up in a Deaf family & witnessed firsthand how the world was not accessible for them. Together with our CTO Skinner — deaf since age 2 — Thibault co-founded Ava to make live captioning of conversations as easy as turning on captions on TV. Our small but fast-growing team has reinvented AI-based speech recognition technology to be in service of people who need it the most. We dream of a 24/7 accessible world, without any communication barrier. In this pursuit, we're seeing how critical communication skills are, yet very far from ideal, to unleash our collective potential. This is for us the ultimate barrier we need to lift. Our belief is that well-designed technology can help everyone communicate and connect better — much more effectively & authentically — so humanity can achieve the greatest things together.

Transformations of the Human (ToftH) was founded in 2021, by Tobias Rees and Kim Newman, as a California non-profit educational organization (501c3). It is designed to introduce a new practice to the world, one that does not yet exist and has only recently become possible: the practice of doing philosophy. ToftH is composed of the ToftH School (“the School”) and ToftH Research Corporation (“TRC”), a for-profit subsidiary. The ToftH Research Corporation (TRC) is an AI product insight company. We combine our unique proprietary method for identifying the new –– doing philosophy –– and a novel approach to UXR to provide insights for tech companies on how to build powerful AI products. TRC was established in support of two goals: (i) to build a company on the basis of ToftH-style work that can generate revenue and fund ToftH School; (ii) to prove that by building products in terms of their philosophical newness, one can produce new value and markets. The main work streams of TRC include consulting with external clients, and internal research and product development. Our work combines philosophy, art and technology in order to build PArT projects, products, practitioners and companies for the new.
