This stage allows us to show investors, partners, and the world that peer-to-peer mental health support is not only possible on a global scale — it’s essential.”

To date, the platform has facilitated over 170,000 downloads, proving the demand and impact of anonymous peer-to-peer connection.
As in previous years, Venture Atlanta 2025 is anticipated to be a sold-out event.
“Venture Atlanta is where companies come to get discovered,” said Venture Atlanta CEO Allyson Eman. “To be selected in a year as competitive as this one speaks volumes about the strength and potential of these startups. These companies didn’t just stand out—they’re poised to break out. With hundreds of investors in the room and a highly curated audience, the visibility companies get here often leads directly to the funding, partnerships, and momentum they need to thrive. We’re incredibly proud to help founders gain the exposure and support that accelerates their path to success.”
