About Sonar

Sonar is a mission-driven startup founded out of Stanford that is making mental health support more preventative and accessible for students. We use a mixture of peer counselors and AI to provide 24/7 mental health support via text messages. We also help identify challenges earlier using social media activity. Our goal is to make sure no student goes unsupported and to relieve stress on overworked school staff.

We support thousands of K-12 students across the United States and are backed by leading institutions such as Stanford University, Alpine Social Ventures, 500 Global Lightspeed and others.
