We’re excited to announce our investment in Stellar Sleep, a company addressing the inadequacies in managing chronic insomnia, a problem affecting 25 million Americans. Congrats to George Wang, Edrei Chua, and the team on today's launch. Unlike superficial remedies, Stellar Sleep employs psychology-based techniques to break the insomnia cycle, offering personalized programs and wearables integration for comprehensive insights. Results from a study of 500 users demonstrate Stellar Sleep's effectiveness, surpassing sleeping pills by 50%, with ongoing clinical trials and plans for further expansion fueled by the funding. “No one values sleep as much as those who can’t get it. The treatment options are so limited that these founders got trained as sleep therapists to treat themselves,” says Parul Singh, our partner. “Stellar Sleep is tech-enabled cognitive behavior therapy (CBT): true tech enablement of patient care that will make a meaningful impact on the millions of people who suffer from sleep disorders worldwide.” Thank you Christine Hall for sharing their story in TechCrunch.

Stellar Sleep (YC S23) has raised $6M in seed funding to help people with chronic insomnia sleep better, using psychology. 25 million Americans with chronic insomnia are getting inadequate and superficial care advice (e.g. cutting coffee, meditation, etc.) when in reality, their sleep problems are often driven by deeper psychological challenges like unresolved anxiety. And the need for a solution is urgent — people with chronic insomnia are at a higher risk for mental health disorders (2x as likely), physical health issues (1.7x more likely to suffer from a heart attack), and decreased productivity in the workplace. Founded by George Wang and Edrei Chua— who both suffered from chronic insomnia— Stellar Sleep uses psychology to help these people break the insomnia cycle. Its mobile app assesses each user’s sleep-related challenges and combines techniques like cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to create a personalized program to resolve their underlying psychological drivers one by one. By helping users re-learn how to sleep well again, a clinical assessment of 500 users found Stellar Sleep to be 50% more effective than sleeping pills. Congrats to the team on the round!
