## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Counsel Health delivers AI-enabled, physician-supervised primary care through a secure messaging-based experience, combining medical AI with licensed physicians for fast, affordable, and personalized care.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, raised $25M in October 2025)
- **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare / Virtual Care / AI-Enabled Telemedicine
- **Target customers**: B2B (health plans, employers, health systems) and B2C (individuals seeking direct primary care)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To make high-quality personalized medical advice available to everyone at all times, like having a doctor in the family.

## Products & Services
- **[Counsel AI + Physician Platform]**: A chat- and voice-based virtual care platform where medical AI handles initial triage and guidance, and board-certified physicians can join the conversation within minutes for diagnosis, prescriptions, referrals, and follow-up. Available via web and mobile app. Pricing: $0 for AI chat (unlimited), $29 per 7-day visit when a doctor is involved, or $199/year for premium membership (includes unlimited AI + physician visits). [counselhealth.com](https://www.counselhealth.com/)
- **[Enterprise/Partnership Offering]**: A white-label or integrated “front door to care” for health plans, employers, and health systems, replacing nurse triage lines and legacy telehealth. Includes audit-ready guardrails for payer compliance and measurable savings (average $381 per engaged member per year).

## Competitive Advantages

- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Not explicitly stated, but the team is distributed across multiple countries (US, Nigeria, Ireland, Iran, South Africa). Likely remote-friendly with a hub in Boston.
- **Engineering Culture**: Heavy focus on AI, data, and fullstack engineering (multiple open roles for Software Engineers, Analytics Engineer, Product Manager). The tech stack involves medical AI, HIPAA/SOC 2 compliance, and building scalable enterprise integrations.
- **Perks**: Unlimited AI chat for free, physician visits at $29 (or $199/year), transparent pricing, and a focus on user privacy (no data sold, no AI training on user data).
