What they do

Problem

Speech therapy is difficult to access and speech-language pathologists face heavy administrative burdens that can lead to burnout and limit their ability to serve clients.

Solution

An AI-enabled platform that helps SLPs launch and grow independent practices by handling marketing, partnerships, insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation.

Who it's for

Independent speech-language pathologists and the patients/care organizations that need speech therapy services.

Founders

Adam Steinle

Founder

Former biomedical engineer, Goldman banker, and big tech PM going back to my roots as a founder in healthcare. Over 4 years at Facebook, I launched many successful products for Content Moderation, Community Growth, Gaming, and Creator Monetization.

Danielle Yoesep

Founder

Grew up interested in science, always thinking I'd become a doctor (immigrant parents lol) but realized in university that practicing medicine actually wasn't the way I wanted to make my impact. Stayed in science, wanted to be on the cutting edge, did some research developing platform technologies that enable the synthesis of novel molecules. I helped spin a company out based on the work and built it up from (mostly) scratch. We ended up getting acquired, and now I'm doing it all over again :)

Shuying Zhang

Founder

I have a mixed background of biomedical engineering and software development. Prior to founding Hona.ai, I was a software engineer at Google and Amazon. My past work was centered on Document AI, knowledge graph and cloud infrastructure.
