About Counsel

Counsel’s mission is to provide patients 24/7 access to the world’s highest quality medical advice. Today, patients seek medical advice from unreliable online sources, chatbots, phone-based medical advice lines, or by messaging their primary care physician, but we believe these solutions are outdated and often ineffective.

At Counsel, we are building an AI-powered medical service that enables our clinicians to provide superhuman medical advice that is near-instant, highly personalized and always available. We believe in a future in which every person has a personalized, AI-enabled doctor always in their pocket.

Our team is comprised of leading physicians, engineers, and researchers who have spent time at Harvard Medical School, UCSF, Stanford Medicine, MIT Media Lab, NVIDIA, and leading healthcare technology companies. Counsel is backed by top-tier institutional investors including Floodgate Fund and Asymmetric Capital Partners, along with the founders of several healthcare companies.
