What Grotek does

Grotek, Inc. is a privately held U.S. startup, registered in Delaware in 2024 and headquartered in New York City, building an AI-powered mental health platform aimed at the global gap in access to mental health care. The company operates a two-sided offering: OhSofia!, a consumer-facing mobile app distributed globally on iOS and Android that delivers personalized therapeutic chats, gamified progress tracking, and 24/7 AI-driven support to individuals seeking mental wellness help; and SofiaHelp, a therapist-facing platform that supplies AI-generated psychological profiles, smart therapist-client matching, dialogue and emotional analysis, and a therapist rating system intended to reduce clinician burnout and improve session outcomes.

The underlying technology combines natural language processing for therapeutic dialogue, a recommendation engine for matching clients to therapists, and predictive analytics for monitoring engagement and dropout risk. Grotek monetizes through recurring consumer subscriptions for the OhSofia! app; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is product-led and self-serve, relying primarily on App Store and Google Play storefronts and a corporate website (grotek.ai), supported by a LinkedIn presence. The customer base spans individual consumers (primary) and licensed mental health professionals (secondary), with a hybrid segmentation approach. As of the available data, Grotek has 1-10 employees, has not disclosed institutional funding or revenue, and is actively hiring across clinical, machine learning, and engineering roles.
