What We Do
Sailor Health is on a mission to solve the mental health crisis among older adults. In the United States, older adults have the highest suicide rates of any age group yet receive the least mental health care. By 2030, over 65 million seniors will make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, creating one of the largest and most urgent challenges in healthcare.
Sailor is the first holistic mental health platform to serve the senior population. We have helped thousands of patients by pairing them digitally with our therapist-led care teams. Our AI-native platform powers seamless care coordination and real-time clinical insights, enabling providers to spend more time delivering compassionate care.
We are growing quickly and have partnered with Medicare to offer affordable and exceptional psychotherapy to hundreds of patients. We are honored to have the support and backing of world-class founders from Ramp, Nourish, Headway, Charlie Health, and Spring Health.
Why Work With Us
We are one of the fastest-moving teams in health tech: every person punches above their weight and owns meaningful work far beyond their title. We’re lucky to be backed by a tier 1 VC (unannounced) and the world-class founders of Ramp, Headway, Charlie Health, and Nourish.
