TheraSocial is built around one core principle: your well-being comes first. We offer a thoughtful alternative to mainstream social networks — a platform designed to strengthen your personal resilience, health, and meaningful human connections rather than capture your time and attention.
Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves tools that support their quality of life — across sports, sleep, health, mood, and social connections. Our mission is to empower you with innovative features that cultivate trusted, safe, and effective relationships while protecting your personal data and privacy.
Our Team & Story
TheraSocial was founded by CEO Benjamin Brandstetter and CTO Evan Askanazi, and developed with the consultation of professionals in psychology, clinical social work, strategic consulting, product management, and business.
The initial idea for TheraSocial was born at a meaningful hackathon hosted by the "Bishvil HaChaim" Association together with Reichman University — an event dedicated to advancing innovation in welfare and quality of life.
We recognized that mainstream social networks are engineered to capture time and attention by leveraging the human need for connection — often leaving people feeling more isolated, not less. We set out to build something fundamentally different.
TheraSocial is designed to strengthen the relationships you already have. Track what matters to you — sleep, exercise, mood, health — and stay connected to the people you care about through customizable trust circles and private messaging. Receive gentle alerts when someone close to you may need support. This is not another feed of curated highlights — it is a platform built for mutual care, authentic check-ins, and the meaningful human connections we all need to flourish.
The TheraSocial project originated at a social innovation hackathon organized by HaKaveret (The Hive) in partnership with the "Bishvil HaChaim" Association and Reichman University in 2025. Development began on July 1, 2025. Our headquarters are in Israel, and the platform officially launched on March 1, 2026.
