What Sober Peer LLC does

Sober Peer LLC is a Dallas-based behavioral health technology company founded in 2017 that operates a mobile-first platform for substance use disorder and life-controlling issue recovery. The platform combines a consumer-facing iOS/Android app with a provider-facing portal (provider.soberpeer.com) and delivers one-on-one peer recovery coaching, small group virtual sessions, credentialed professional counseling, and faith-based counseling, with subscriptions starting at approximately $1/day and $45-$75/week tiers. Underlying technology is described as an AI-driven behavioral science stack incorporating predictive analytics, neural networks, machine learning, a 500-data-points-per-day "Sober Signals" engine across 12 cognitive behavioral categories, a "Time Travel" longitudinal ledger, and blockchain-enabled patient records via a partnership with BurstiQ; add-on modules include a connected breathalyzer with facial authentication, an in-patient kiosk, GPS-based trigger/location alerts, and a remote patient monitoring layer.

The business operates a multi-sided revenue model spanning consumer subscriptions, enterprise and provider platform licensing, self-insured employer/EAP contracts, and Medicaid clearinghouse transaction fees (certified in Pennsylvania). Go-to-market combines a product-led growth motion through the app stores with enterprise field sales to treatment providers, state accountability courts, and self-insured employers, supplemented by channel partnerships (most notably Adult and Teen Challenge) and an in-patient kiosk channel for facilities. By the end of Year 1 (May 2021) the company had reached 9,700 patients, 1 million behavioral therapy days, 45 U.S. states, and 200+ U.S. programs in network, with stated intent to expand across 144 countries and 19 European markets. The company is self-funded through sales, holds no debt, has not entered capital markets, and is approaching a $100M pre-money valuation per its own statements.
