Company profile
researched Aug 2026Beaming Health operates a platform and directory that helps families of children with autism and other developmental differences find and begin pediatric care. Its product set includes a therapy provider search, web-based autism screeners, dynamically generated parent roadmaps with steps to care and home-care resources, provider success metrics and reviews, contextual scheduling interfaces, and a clinician-side dashboard with analytics. The web application was built as a custom React project, with features rolled out under HIPAA-compliant documentation and technical oversight.
The company publishes availability listings for speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists, organized by geography (San Francisco, East Bay, North Bay, and virtual) and by the insurance plans and regional centers each provider is in-network with, including Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Kaiser, Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross, Tricare, and California regional centers such as Regional Center of the East Bay, North Bay Regional Center and GGRC. Listings also note the care setting (in-clinic, in-home, or virtual) and language capabilities such as Spanish. In August 2024, Beaming Healthcare Group began directly serving families in California, extending the company beyond a directory model.
Founding story
Beaming Health was founded in 2021 by Marissa "Missy" Pittard and Chris Olmanson, who met while pursuing MBAs at Stanford and incubated the company there. Pittard trained as a chemical and biomedical engineer at Georgia Tech and previously worked at McKinsey on behavioral health and social determinants of health; Olmanson studied international studies and economics at Boston College and worked at UnitedHealth Group. The founding premise was that neurodiverse families should not find it so difficult to access needed resources.
Business model
Beaming Health runs a two-sided marketplace between pediatric therapy providers and families. Providers can participate through a subscription or through sponsored placement on the platform, and the company has worked through multiple monetization approaches to support platform operations while serving end users. Since August 2024, Beaming Healthcare Group has also directly served families in California.

It maintains active in-network provider availability listings across San Francisco, the East Bay, the North Bay and virtual care, last updated June 2025.

Market position
Positioned as a one-stop pediatric care resource for special-needs and neurodivergent families, combining a provider directory, screeners and navigation guidance; investors describe it as a platform marketplace connecting autism and neurodivergent providers with families and patients.
Combines insurance-aware provider matching (surfacing in-network status with specific payers and California regional centers, plus care setting and language) with autism screeners, a step-by-step parent roadmap, provider success metrics and reviews, and a clinician dashboard, rather than a directory listing alone.
Technology
A custom React-based web application with provider search, autism screeners, automated parent roadmap generation, scheduling modals, and a clinician dashboard with analytics, delivered with HIPAA-compliant processes. Reported technologies in use include Node.js, Nuxt.js, Google Sign-in, Google Maps, Cloudflare, Hotjar, Google Analytics and MailChimp.
Go-to-market
The company reaches families through its directory and screening tools and through partnerships with pediatric health systems and referral sources, while distributing in-network provider availability lists to clinicians who can pass them to families. Provider acquisition is tied to subscription and sponsored-placement offerings. Branding, web application design and go-to-market strategy were developed with an outside design partner, Osborn Design Works.
Families of children with autism and other neurodivergent or special-needs profiles seeking speech-language therapy, occupational therapy and related pediatric services, plus the pediatric therapy providers and clinicians listed on the platform; referring clinicians are also given availability information to share with clients.
Geography
Headquartered in San Francisco, California (1803 Broadway St). Provider availability listings cover San Francisco, the East Bay (including Concord and Walnut Creek), the North Bay (including Sonoma and San Rafael) and virtual care statewide; care has been facilitated across more than 200 US communities.
History
Founded in 2021 and incubated at Stanford's MBA program. An MVP care directory was designed in 2021 and used to support an angel round that year; the product was launched in March 2022 and the v1 of beaminghealth.com followed after roughly 12 months of product design and market-fit work. A $1.7M seed round closed in early 2023, and further funding was reported for January 2023 and January 2025. In August 2024, Beaming Healthcare Group began directly serving families in California.
