Happy

Happy is an app that connects people who need emotional support with those who have the natural human resources to provide it--on demand, over the phone

Company Summary

Happy is a two-sided marketplace for on-demand emotional support. Millions of Americans aren't receiving the human support they need and are suffering serious health consequences as a result (including early death). Simultaneously, many Americans naturally possess the empathy and listening skills to provide emotional support for others. Happy connects these two groups, providing on-demand support for callers and meaningful work for providers.
