How it Started

Koko started as a clinical trial at MIT. We have since published seven peer reviewed papers on our platform, including two randomized-controlled trials.

STATISTICS WITH SUBSTANCE

2M

USERS REACHED

Koko has reached over two million people, mostly adolescents.

71%

MORE HOPEFUL

Of users who engage with our interventions, 71% feel more hopeful, 42% feel better about their bodies, and 67% feel less self-hatred.

Elevating well-being has a ripple effect

Koko offers multiple interventions, but our peer support service is the tender, beating-heart of our platform. It's based on the simple idea of helping others to help yourself. This creates a ripple effect. If one person learns to help two other people, who then go on to help two more, the impact is exponential.
