01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Sophia was a Boston-based startup founded by Eva Breitenbach that matched clients with therapists and life counselors. Breitenbach started it after a health scare in business school left her shaken, and after hearing fellow students talk about how hard it was to find the right therapist. The company participated in the Techstars Accelerate program.
