The company, founded in 2019, aims to scale its operations and presence in the healthcare community with the funding. CEO Chris Thompson emphasizes the importance of connecting with the right people during challenging times to support recovery. The app aims to provide support during vulnerable moments to prevent relapse, overdoses, and suicides.
