BeMe Health, Inc.
BeMe Health, Inc. is a digital behavioral-health company established in 2021 to support adolescents through mobile emotional-wellbeing content, mood tracking, coaching, and access to clinical and crisis support. It was acquired by Hazel Health in 2025 and its former domains now redirect to Hazel. Hazel describes BeMe as its Tier1 and subclinical wellbeing offering for students, including on-demand chat coaching and safe virtual spaces. Its 2021 launch announcement proposed artificial intelligence and natural-language processing for personalization; that plan is not treated as independently verified current AI deployment or clinical performance. Public leadership records below are qualified by their publication period: founder Nicki Tessler left the CEO position in June 2025, successor Terry Boch led the sale and departed before joining Cylinder Health as CEO in March 2026. No separate current BeMe executive directory is published. The company is distinct from Casey Neistat’s 2015 Beme media startup and from the autism software company BeMe.ai. Verified financings includeUSD7M seed in 2021, CHCF’s USD1.45M program-related investment in 2022, and USD12.5M additional seed capital in 2024; acquisition price is undisclosed. Its own2021founders article publishes individual director and advisor titles, recorded with historical qualifications.
