What Sharp Performance does

Sharp Performance, Inc. is a US-based, private professional coaching and training platform that sells subscription access to public safety agencies — primarily law enforcement, fire departments, and military units — for the purpose of mental performance, resilience, and wellness coaching of their personnel. The company delivers its service through a mobile application (iOS and Android) plus a web product offering four core modules: Unlimited 1-on-1 Coaching (with coaches drawn from high-risk backgrounds such as former Navy SEALs, Green Berets, police officers, and firefighters), Guided Exercises for stress management and resilience, Recommended Exercises for daily focus and emotional training, and a Centralized Resources hub organizing local, regional, and national support assets.

The platform is built on a preventative, subclinical, physiology-first methodology rather than reactive clinical therapy, with content and coaching developed by U.S. Special Operations veterans and the sports psychologists who trained them. Sharp Performance monetizes via B2B annual agency subscriptions sold through a direct enterprise field sales motion with quote-based pricing and in-person implementation support; it does not sell to individual consumers. In the 15 months preceding its September 2025 $12M seed round, the company grew from one agency to over 50 partner agencies and reports a near-40% voluntary engagement rate, roughly 20x the industry standard.

Core offering

Sharp Performance sells a B2B subscription mobile coaching platform to public safety agencies. Agencies purchase team-wide access that gives their personnel unlimited one-on-one coaching from coaches with high-risk occupational backgrounds, daily guided mental resilience exercises, personalized training plans, and a centralized directory of support resources. The offering is delivered through an iOS and Android app and is positioned as a preventative, subclinical alternative to traditional clinical mental health services.

The product suite consists of the Sharp Performance Mobile App (available on iOS and Android) and four core service offerings: Unlimited 1 on 1 Coaching (peer-to-peer coaching with coaches from high-risk backgrounds), Unlimited Access to Unique Exercises (mental resilience tools), Recommended Exercises (daily training for focus and emotional resilience), and Centralized Resources (organized access to local, regional, and national support resources). The platform emphasizes preventative, subclinical coaching delivered by former Special Operations personnel and sports psychologists, distinguishing itself from traditional therapy or mental health services.

Broad incumbents

• Lyra Health: Lyra is a leading B2B mental health benefits platform selling to employers and increasingly to public sector organizations. Both Lyra and Sharp Performance sell mental wellbeing solutions through enterprise contracts and compete for the same HR/benefits buyer, though Lyra focuses on licensed therapy whereas Sharp is subclinical peer coaching.
• Spring Health: Spring Health sells precision mental health benefits to employers and government entities, with similar B2B GTM to Sharp Performance. Both target workforce mental wellbeing at scale; Spring Health is broader in clinical scope while Sharp is more specialized for first responders.
• Modern Health: Modern Health is a global mental health platform serving enterprise customers with coaching, therapy, and self-guided content. Like Sharp, it combines coaching with digital delivery, but it serves general enterprise workforce rather than the high-risk-occupation niche Sharp dominates.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is a publicly traded virtual therapy and coaching platform sold B2B2C via employers, health plans, and government. Both deliver digital coaching/therapy at scale through enterprise contracts, but Talkspace is licensed-therapy-led while Sharp is subclinical peer-coaching-led.
• Calm Health: Calm Health is the B2B arm of Calm, selling meditation, sleep, and mental wellness tools to employers, health plans, and public agencies. Both companies deliver app-based mental performance content via enterprise contracts; Calm is consumer-led and broad, Sharp is high-risk-occupation-specific.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest direct-to-consumer and B2B online therapy platform. Both are digital mental wellness platforms with a coaching/therapy component, but BetterHelp is consumer-direct and licensed-therapy-led while Sharp is B2B agency-led and peer-coaching-led.
• Headspace Health: Headspace Health (combined Headspace and Ginger) sells mental wellness and on-demand coaching subscriptions to employers, health plans, and public sector organizations. Both companies monetize via B2B subscriptions for digital mental performance content; Headspace is broader consumer-focused, Sharp is first-responder specialized.

Direct peers

• Lexipol: Lexipol is a leading policy, training, and wellness platform purpose-built for public safety agencies, including its Cordico first-responder wellness app. Both Lexipol and Sharp Performance sell directly into law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies for officer wellness, and compete for the same agency wellness budget.
• Headstrong Project: Headstrong provides free, confidential mental health treatment to veterans and their families, with peer-informed and trauma-specialized care. Both organizations serve high-risk-occupation populations with peer-sensitive mental wellness, though Headstrong is a nonprofit offering clinical treatment and Sharp is a for-profit coaching platform.

Emerging players

• Athlete Performance Solutions (EXOS / NFL-affiliated coaching): EXOS and similar sports-psychology-led performance coaching firms deliver mental and physical performance coaching to elite tactical and athletic populations. Both draw on sports psychology methodologies and target high-performance operators, but EXOS is primarily in-person and athlete-focused while Sharp is digital and first-responder-focused.
