About Huddle Up

Huddle Up, formerly known as DotCom Therapy, Inc., operates as a comprehensive pediatric digital health company focused on supporting the special education needs of children and adolescents within K-12 school districts across the United States. The firm was founded in 2015 by Rachel Mack Robinson, a speech-language pathologist, with an initial mission to improve access to care in remote areas. The first services provided were virtual speech therapy to a school district in Alaska. Co-founder Emily Purdom is also credited with establishing the company. The business model centers on partnering with school districts to deliver a full spectrum of services for Individualized Education Program (IEP) and 504 Plan compliance.

Revenue is generated by providing these specialized services to schools. The company offers a flexible, hybrid model of both in-person and virtual care to manage IEP cases ranging from mild to complex. Core services include speech therapy, occupational therapy, mental health support, and school psychology. Huddle Up has delivered over one million therapy sessions and serves nearly 1,000 school districts nationwide. A key operational metric is its 94% 90-day provider retention rate, which ensures consistency of care. In April 2024, the company rebranded from DotCom Therapy to Huddle Up and announced the completion of a Series C funding round. This financing was led by Kayne Anderson Growth Capital with participation from existing investors including New Capital Partners, LRV Health, HealthX Ventures, and OSF Ventures. Total funding raised is reported to be between $18.1M and $32.6M over several rounds.

The company's technology platform is a key component of its offering. In 2024, it launched Provider Hub to streamline workflows for its network of therapists and the Family Care Hub, a platform providing families with personalized resources and session details to support a child's progress. These tools are designed to create a collaborative 'circle of support' involving providers, families, and educators. The platform also includes an Educator Hub with support materials for school staff. The company's leadership team includes CEO Omar Dawood, a physician and digital health executive with a background at companies like Calm and Headspace Health.
