About Us
Our Mission
Affordable, accessible, effective mental healthcare for all!
Our Vision
A world where mental health is destigmatized, and where everyone has access to compassionate, personalized, and effective care through our Al-powered solutions.
Our Story
We’re seasoned tech leaders who left our corporate careers to build something that truly matters. Kana was born from deeply personal motivation—watching people close to us silently struggle without the support they needed.
After 20+ years of building enterprise solutions for Fortune 500 companies, we decided to apply our skills where they’re needed most.
Kana is our commitment to transform mental healthcare for good—by empowering the people who care for others!
