Sonar, a Sacramento, CA-based provider of an AI-powered mental health platform for young people, raised $2.4M in funding.
The round was led by Nina Capital, with participation from GSR Ventures and J4 Ventures and support from the Stanford University Social Impact Founder Fellowship.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its expansion across school districts nationwide, invest in R&D and app development, and continue building its solution for preventative mental health support.
Led by CEO Drew Barvir, Sonar Mental Health is an AI-powered mental health platform for young people. In partnership with school districts across the nation, the company is addressing the adolescent mental health crisis to measurably improve student well-being and identify mental health challenges early. Its AI-powered Wellbeing Companion, Sonny, engages with students directly through text messages whenever they need support. The platform sets students up for long-term success while providing school districts with a scalable solution to boost student engagement and academic performance while reducing chronic absenteeism.
