NeuroNav

What NeuroNav does

NeuroNav (legal entity: Neurodiversity PBC) is a California Public Benefit Corporation founded in 2020 at Stanford through the Stanford Innovation Fellowship. The company operates as an Independent Facilitator under California Welfare & Institutions Code § 4685.8, providing services exclusively to participants in California's Self-Determination Program (SDP), a Medicaid-funded alternative to traditional Regional Center service delivery for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Its core offerings include SDP enrollment guidance, person-centered planning, budget development and negotiation, provider identification and coordination, and ongoing advocacy and renewal support. Care Navigators are organized in a team-based model, with multiple facilitators contributing to each participant's plan to ensure continuity of expertise.

NeuroNav's platform combines human-delivered facilitation with proprietary person-centered planning methodologies and a Navigator Service Coordination Platform designed for ease of use by families. The company has established formal partnerships with all 21 California Regional Centers — the sole administrative gatekeepers for SDP enrollment — giving it statewide referral reach. All services are 100% funded by participants' Regional Center disability budgets, with no out-of-pocket cost to families; the company operates on an all-inclusive monthly subscription pricing model that provides predictable revenue and predictable support costs to participants. Its end customers are primarily adults with autism, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, and other developmental disabilities, served remotely across California.

Go-to-market is community-led: NeuroNav drives top-of-funnel demand through educational content (a Self-Determination blog, webinars, email newsletter, and organic social channels including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube), with free consultations as the primary conversion mechanism. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, and the company operates as a remote-first organization headquartered at 2323 Broadway, Oakland. Founded by co-founders Kimberly Schreiber (CEO) and Sabrina Kappe, NeuroNav has received early venture backing from Moai Capital and Pear VC (2020) and a subsequent round with Praxis (2025). Revenue and specific funding amounts are not publicly disclosed.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• The Arc: National disability advocacy and services organization supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Directly comparable in mission and IDD population served, with overlapping case management and person-centered planning capabilities, but operates a federated chapter model rather than a single state service.
• Sevita Health (formerly The MENTOR Network): Large national provider of home and community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable in serving IDD populations through Medicaid-funded programs, though Sevita operates a much broader suite of direct services beyond facilitation.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Public company providing home and community-based services across IDD, behavioral health, and pharmacy. Highly relevant as a scaled, Medicaid-funded IDD services platform; NeuroNav is a far smaller, more focused analog operating in the same regulatory and funding environment.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Large home health and private duty services provider with a meaningful IDD/Medicaid services segment. Comparable as a Medicaid-funded disability services operator, though Aveanna's core business is home health rather than person-centered planning or independent facilitation.
• Help at Home: Personal care services provider focused on Medicaid-funded in-home support for individuals with disabilities and aging adults. Comparable as a Medicaid-funded disability services operator at meaningful scale, with a broader geographic footprint but a different service mix.
• Easterseals: National nonprofit network providing disability services including case management, advocacy, and person-centered planning across the U.S. Highly comparable as a broader disability services platform, though Easterseals operates a much wider portfolio than NeuroNav's narrow Independent Facilitation focus.

Direct peers

• RHA Health Services: Multi-state provider of community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including supported living, day services, and case management. Comparable in IDD population and Medicaid funding model, though with a more diversified service portfolio.
• Public Partnerships LLC (PPL): Financial Management Services (FMS) provider for California's Self-Determination Program and many other state self-direction programs. Operates in the same SDP regulatory ecosystem and serves overlapping participants, though PPL focuses on the FMS function while NeuroNav focuses on Independent Facilitation.
• Penn-Mar Human Services: Regional nonprofit providing person-centered supports, case management, and self-directed services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable in service model and IDD focus, though geographically concentrated in Pennsylvania rather than California.

Others

• National Disability Rights Network: Federally funded nonprofit network of Protection & Advocacy systems for people with disabilities. Not a commercial peer but operates in the same disability services and advocacy ecosystem, often intersecting with families navigating California's Regional Center system.
