What Evive Inc. does

Evive Inc. is a US-based digital health platform focused on gambling behavior change, offering evidence-based support for individuals seeking to stop or manage gambling. Founded by Sam DeMello (leveraging his personal recovery journey and 15+ years of strategic leadership) with co-founder and CTO Philippe Green, the company provides a mobile app, online community platforms, peer testimonial content, and a podcast targeted at both individuals struggling with gambling and their families and friends. The platform features daily check-ins, a personalized learning library developed with clinical experts, crisis management tools, and private peer communities for both gamblers and affected family members.

The core technology is a mobile health platform built on privacy-first architecture designed to meet state government data handling requirements and scale to millions of users. The platform includes adaptive recommendation capabilities that personalize support based on each user's goals (complete cessation, mindful gambling, or balance), progress tracking through daily mood and mindset logging, and a secure community infrastructure. A Clinical Advisory Board including UCLA Gambling Studies Program co-director Dr. Timothy Fong and recognized problem gambling experts anchors the evidence-based positioning. The company maintains sub-brands including the Evive Family & Friends Community and The Evive Foundation, a nonprofit affiliate.

Revenue is generated primarily through contracted partnerships with state public health agencies and problem gambling councils, positioning Evive as a digital extension of state-funded support services. The individual-facing consumer app is free nationwide, with no direct consumer fees. Distribution occurs through state government contracts, Apple's App Store (4.8 rating), self-serve web access, and treatment professional referrals. The company states its mission is to reach the 99.5% of people experiencing gambling harm who never access traditional state-funded support services.
