Today, we’re excited to announce an $18M Series A led by Hidden Variable with participation from @a16z, @commonwealvc, Wolfson Group, @FjLabs, and the @FordFoundation.
Sharp is building the new standard for first responder job performance with confidential, one-on-one coaching from people who understand the job and the demands that come with it.
Over 115 departments across 18 states, with more than 16,000 booked coaching sessions.
To the chiefs, peer support leads, coaches, and members who helped get us here, thank you. Now we carry the mission forward.
More departments. A better way for first responders to keep getting better throughout their careers.
People sharpen people.

@sharp_usa is one of the most important companies in America, a platform that brings relevance to those in uniform (and beyond) who have been massively underserved by traditional mental health services. Incredible to see their growth since co-leading the pre-seed. @Ben__Curley @lmushin 🚨

Extraordinary conversation on overcoming tragedy and serving others. Incredible episode. 🇺🇸🚀💪
As a coach, you can only take someone as deep as you’ve been yourself.
Nobody embodies that truth like @steven_cristien, Sharp’s Head of Coaching.
Join us tomorrow on @ShawnRyanShow as he shares his powerful story, from a childhood marked by tragedy, to serving as a Navy Recon Corpsman attached to MARSOC and later as a CIA contractor.
Full episode 12/18 🇺🇸

Here’s something that could help actually prevent veteran suicide.
Extremely proud to invest in Sharp Performance to support our police, first responders, fire fighters and public safety professionals in the hardest missions they face.
When Danny and I first started talking to Sharp users, they were some of the most glowing and moving stories we’ve ever heard. Longtime cops who said Sharp coaching saved their marriages, made them a better dad or helped them cope with the trauma they experienced on the job.
Therapists and HR leads can’t possibly understand the day to day stress of these difficult jobs. But Navy SEALs, military vets and other first responders can. And the magic of Sharp is in those relationships.
In just over a year, Sharp has grown from 1 public safety deployment to 50 agencies across the country. They’re just getting started.
At @a16z, we proudly invest in public safety and technology that supports our men and women in uniform who protect us everyday.
Honored to invest in @Ben__Curley and the entire team at @sharp_usa as they support the hero’s journey. 🇺🇸🚀💪

Incredibly fortunate to be a small part of the Sharp journey
Sharp was the 1st investment out of Formation and watching Ben, Andrew, and the team execute on such an important mission, now serving 50 public safety departments across the country, has been inspiring to watch

We co-led Sharp’s pre seed as our first investment out of Formation and it’s been incredible to see the impact they have had on the public safety community since, serving over 50 departments to date.
What you won’t hear about publicly is the lives, marriages and careers saved. This company is providing another layer of armor to our first responders and police + fire are just the start. @Ben__Curley 🚨

THIS project was truly an honor to work on.
While filming we spent hours talking to the men and women who keep us safe — their sacrifice can be easy to take for granted.
What Sharp is doing for our 1st responders is deeply important.

I initially went into venture capital to fund the future I want to see. Sharp Performance is exactly that. Sharp is making sure our local heroes — and their families — don't have to figure things out alone.
If you know anyone in public safety or emergency services, I'd love to connect them. Funding the future means investing in the people who keep us safe.

To this day, I’ve never had a positive experience with therapy.
I’ve never been able to connect with the therapist across the room or on the screen, and I’ve never felt understood as a professional or as a man.
Now imagine you’re a first responder, whose job is to pull bodies out of car crashes, or to walk up to a vehicle with a pleasant demeanor but prepared for a confrontation, or to answer the phone on someone’s worst day with their family screaming in the background. The average therapist or coach cannot relate to those expectations and experiences.
That’s why we built Sharp: a coaching platform where men and women in high-risk jobs can connect with coaches who get it. Coaches who’ve been through similar experiences and successfully navigated them, and who now serve as guides, mentors, and peers.
That community and comradery is the missing piece, and Sharp is bringing to every first responder in America.
Forward!🇺🇸🚀🫱
