Building the Sobriety Platform for the future of Superintelligence. 🌻
Sunflower is on a mission to create one trillion days sober. Our product is both a consumer app (think a "Duolingo for addiction") but also with a tele-therapy clinic inside. Consumer App: - We built the #1 AI Sponsor for any kind of addiction - Beautiful visual progression tracking to power the core "task to be done" of addiction - A twitter style social media for addicts - DIY learn content (think Masterclass for addiction) for all major addiction types - CBT based journaling exercises Tele-Therapy: - Think a "Early Medical Peter Attia" quality of clinic, but completely focused on addiction - Starting with talk therapy in CA & TX we're rolling out to all 50 states + MAT - Bringing together the worlds best doctors to create the most effective protocol for addiction Sunflower went from 0 - 100k MAU in less than 6 months, and now we're continuing the traction to create the #1 product for addiction for the 1.2B humans on this planet that struggle with this fundamental human problem.
