Zach Cohen, Ease Health

There are over 59 million adults in the United States living with a mental health condition.

The clinics trying to help them are drowning in paperwork.

Not because the people running them don’t care. Not because the clinicians aren’t skilled. But because the software holding these organizations together was built for a different era entirely. A separate tool for intake. Another for patient records. Another for billing. None of them connected. All of them slow. And somewhere in the middle of that patchwork, patients wait longer, clinicians burn out faster, and the gap between people who need care and people who receive it keeps growing.

Zach Cohen spent years watching this problem from the inside as an investing partner at Andreessen Horowitz. He saw what broken infrastructure does to an industry. He also saw what happens when someone finally builds the right system from the ground up.

So he left and built it himself.

Ease Health is a single AI-native platform that replaces the entire technology stack a behavioral health provider runs on. One system for intake, clinical documentation, and billing. One patient record. One workflow. AI handling the administrative work that used to require entire teams.

The results are already visible. Clinicians are completing documentation 60 to 70 percent faster. Intake labor costs are down 50 percent. Providers are fitting 30 to 40 percent more patient sessions into their schedules which means more people getting care.

The mental health crisis in this country is not going away. But the infrastructure holding back the people trying to address it is finally being rebuilt.

Zach Cohen decided he was the one to do it.
