What Verse Therapy does

At Verse Therapy, we're dedicated to making quality speech therapy accessible for everyone by empowering speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to launch and grow their own independent practices. We help therapists focus on what they do best - providing compassionate, personalized care - by taking care of the administrative tasks that often lead to burnout. Through thoughtful marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their expertise. Our AI-enabled back office streamlines insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, reducing non-therapy overhead. We're now live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and are in-network with leading insurance providers, making it easier for clients to receive the support they need.

Connecting All Ages with Speech Language Pathologists

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that helps speech-language pathologists run their own independent practices by handling the administrative work - insurance, scheduling, documentation - so they can focus on therapy. We connect therapists to people who need their help, including through partnerships with rehab centers and insurance networks. Our AI tools automate back office tasks to reduce overhead.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live and where healthcare IT talent is accessible. Being here helps us stay close to insurance providers and care organizations we partner with.
