Our Mission
RiseTwice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting young people in need. Although our technology is built with this population in mind, it can be used by anyone who finds it useful.
MD Founded
Inspired by urgent need: An MD's direct exposure to mental health emergencies and experience volunteering with at-risk youth led to the creation of RiseTwice.
Our Story
Mental health support shouldn't be out of reach for those who need it most. Traditional therapy costs $150-300 per session—an impossible barrier for many young people facing difficult circumstances.
We created RiseTwice to bridge this gap: combining the accessibility of AI with the expertise and accountability of licensed mental health professionals, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional care.

Byron is passionate about caring for at-risk youth, a goal that stemmed from tutoring homeless children, mentoring adolescents exiting the juvenile detention system, leading clinical and non-clinical operations for children living in shelters, and advocating on Capitol Hill. He has made it his career to help those struggling through the lowest moments of their lives and is excited to leverage new technologies for young people in need.

He is the co-founder of Vorail.com, a leading platform for the global low vision and blind community to connect & support each other.
