ABOUT SOMETHINGS Somethings is building the first social wellness platform for teens — a place where a teen can form a real relationship with a mentor who gets them, sticks with them, and helps them get better. 25 million teens in the U.S. are struggling with their mental health. Every one of the thousands of teens who downloads Somethings is struggling. Our job is to make sure they don’t just show up — they stay, connect with real humans who care deeply about them, and get the support that they need to thrive. We’re backed by General Catalyst, Catalio and world-class healthcare + consumer investors, and we’re growing like crazy — in 2025 we grew 1100%, raised our $19.2M Series A, and are on track to 5x in 2026.
