We’re excited to share that Wisdo has been acquired by Talkspace, a leading online behavioral health company.
Wisdo was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that human connection is essential to health. We’ve seen how peer support, shared lived experiences, group coaching, and meaningful connections can help people overcome loneliness and social isolation and improve their well-being. Today, by becoming part of Talkspace, we are able to take that mission further than ever before.
Why This Matters
Loneliness and social isolation are now recognized as a public health crisis, affecting nearly half of U.S. adults and driving enormous health costs. Research shows they are linked not only to depression and anxiety, but also to serious physical conditions like heart disease and dementia.
Wisdo has proven that addressing social health works. With 24/7 access to trained peers, moderated communities, and group coaching — all backed by AI-powered matching — our members have experienced up to a 28% reduction in loneliness and depression, alongside measurable gains in quality of life.
Now, by combining these strengths with Talkspace’s therapy, psychiatric support, and clinical expertise, we can offer a comprehensive continuum of care that meets people where they are, with exactly what they need.
The Power of AI and Scale
Wisdo’s platform is built on AI-powered precision matching, trained on more than 100 million peer interactions. This technology ensures members are connected with the right support at the right time — whether through peer conversations, group coaching, or now, through the expanded services Talkspace provides.
Together, we’ll bring this innovation to millions more people, deepening engagement, improving outcomes, and delivering value not only to individuals, but also to the health plans, employers, and organizations that care for them.
Celebrating the People Behind Wisdo
This milestone is only possible because of the trust and vision of our pioneering clients, shareholders, and investors, who believed in Wisdo’s mission from day one. Most of all, we are grateful to the extraordinary Wisdo team — whose creativity, passion, and resilience have turned an idea into a movement that is now reaching a much larger stage.
Together with Talkspace, we are building a future where everyone has access to the right support — from peer connection to therapy — creating stronger communities and healthier lives.
The journey continues — and together with Talkspace, we’re just getting started.
