Somethings, a Brooklyn-based digital mental health company focused on teens and young adults, has raised $19.2 million in Series A funding led by Catalio Capital with participation from existing backers General Catalyst and Tusk Ventures. The capital will be used to expand Somethings’ peer-support model, which targets early intervention at scale amid sharply rising youth suicide rates and growing gaps in traditional behavioral health systems.
The platform partners with Medicaid programs, state agencies, schools, health plans, and community organizations to connect youth ages 13–26 with trained Certified Peer Specialist mentors who have lived experience and operate under clinical oversight. Somethings reports having supported more than 11,000 teens across the United States through over 200 schools and 250 community organizations, citing outcome data showing a 65% reduction in depression and a 60% reduction in suicidal ideation among participating youth.
Access is delivered via a secure, HIPAA-compliant mobile app that enables on-demand connections with peer mentors, particularly during after-school and evening hours when emotional distress often spikes and traditional services are less available. The company positions its approach as eliminating common barriers such as waitlists, transportation constraints, and stigma by embedding support in a format young people already use and trust.
Somethings’ technology stack incorporates proprietary AI tools that support mentors rather than directly interacting with teens, with capabilities designed to enhance engagement, screen for safety issues, and trigger rapid clinical escalation when risk is detected. The Series A proceeds will fund expansion of partnerships with Medicaid programs, state governments, schools, and healthcare organizations, as well as further investment in peer training, clinical infrastructure, product improvements, and team growth to support sustainable national scale.
