Company Description

Flowly is a science-backed and data-driven app designed to reduce stress, anxiety and pain for improved overall wellness. Using a mobile app and VR headset, Flowly collects biometric data such as HR and HRV and converts it to visualizations in virtual experiences that reduce stress and pain by over 40%. The founding team is made up of Yale, DreamWorks, and Hyperloop One alums in conjunction with a world-class clinical team at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and USC. Flowly has also been studied in NIH-backed clinical trials. Flowly is venture-backed and graduate of Y Combinator. Our members report life-changing outcomes including how Flowly has empowered them to stop taking opioids, sleep through the night for the first time in fifteen years, and experience deep relaxation on a daily basis. We’ve been lucky to be able to build out a team local to Los Angeles and we’d like to keep that pattern going. We have a hybrid work schedule with all of us meeting in office on Mondays and then the office is open to everybody else throughout the week as desired.
