Analysis-based treatment tools for the growing population affected by autism spectrum disorders
About rethinkfirst.com
RethinkFirst was founded in 2008 by Daniel A. Etra and Eran Rosenthal with a mission to provide scalable, evidence-based autism treatment training tools and caregiver supports to an underserved population. The company quickly established itself as a leader in behavioral health technology, offering innovative solutions that cater to both individuals and organizations.
In its journey, RethinkFirst has achieved significant milestones. One of the pivotal moments came in August 2020, when the company secured a substantial growth equity funding round. This financial boost enabled RethinkFirst to expand its offerings and enhance its technological capabilities.
Further solidifying its position in the market, RethinkFirst acquired Whil in February 2021. This acquisition allowed the company to create a comprehensive behavioral health, mental health, and wellbeing solution, broadening its impact and reach.
RethinkFirst's strategic moves have not only expanded its service offerings but also positioned it as a key player in the behavioral health sector. The company's commitment to leveraging technology for better health outcomes continues to drive its growth and success.
