The market opportunity is huge. As communication is increasingly mediated through online chat, video calls, and emails, opportunities for misunderstanding abound. Poorly-worded or insensitive messages hurt relationships and damage reputations. “Lack of clear and empathetic communication is costing businesses billions of dollars annually via customer churn, employee turnover, and lack of organizational alignment,” explains Kirsten Suddath, General Partner at Next Frontier Capital. “mpathic is building an evidenced-based AI communication technology platform on top of its rich library of data and has assembled an industry-leading team of experts in empathic communication and machine learning.”

We welcome underrepresented folx in tech and outside of tech. Maybe you've been overlooked, faced a glass ceiling, a paperwork barrier, couldn't code switch exactly right, had to up-manage others while doing all the work, don't want to have to deal with feeling tired or like an outsider anymore. We are a tech company run by a psychologist in a tech environment that has a history of systemic problems; we are approaching that history and re-imagining start-up life together, intentionally. Our Board of Directors and VCs are all 100% women or non-binary; our company includes more than 60% persons of color (POC).

Empathy includes understanding the whole person. When deciding what benefits should look like at mpathic, we started by thinking about what employees need not only to work well but to live well. Benefits impact how we act, rest, grieve, set boundaries, and take care of ourselves and others — and that means quality benefits are a fundamental part of our empathy company and, in the big picture, an empathic society.
