- An optimist - you believe in a tomorrow better than today

## WHAT YOU'LL DO:

- Build and ship AI-native product experiences used directly by clinicians and patients

- Are fluent in Python and/or TypeScript
- Have worked with modern LLM APIs, agentic systems, tool calling, retrieval, structured outputs, or similar applied AI patterns

- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: Not publicly available (LinkedIn shows 22 employees with +1000% YoY growth, suggesting a recent founding)
- **Founders**: John Zhao (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare technology, telehealth, mental health services
- **Target customers**: B2C (patients seeking mental healthcare) and B2B (psychiatrists/PMHNPs as providers)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Mental healthcare must be affordable, accessible, and effective." The company exists to solve the mental health epidemic by partnering with psychiatrists to expand access to timely, clinically-effective psychiatric-mental healthcare.

## Products & Services
- **Online Psychiatry & Therapy**: Virtual visits with licensed psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, covered by most major insurances (patient copays typically $0–$22). Conditions treated include anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and more.
- **Precision Prescribing**: Medication plans personalized to the individual, leveraging AI and telehealth technology.
- **Provider Platform**: A practice management solution that handles patient referrals, scheduling, billing, and operational support, allowing clinicians to run their own virtual practice on a flexible schedule.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric (Total Funding)**: $38.4M across two rounds (Seed and Series A)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Headline (led Series A on 2026-03-01); American Psychiatric Association (partnership announced 2026-05-27)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Provider-first model**: Clinicians retain autonomy over their practice while Blossom handles administrative and technical burdens.

## Why Work Here

- **Work model**: Flexible scheduling for clinicians; for non-clinical roles, the company is remote-first with offices in New York. Not a 9-to-5 job – expects high ownership and commitment.
- **Perks**: True economic and personal ownership (equity), limitless growth opportunities, and a fun, collaborative team environment.
