Girona-based (Catalonia, Spain) B2B SaaS founded in 2021 that uses AI (deep learning, computer vision, NLP) integrated into video calls, Slack and Teams to detect employees' emotional state in real time, flagging burnout, stress and turnover risk for HR teams. Started in mid-2021 as Synaptiko, an online psychology marketplace, before pivoting to this B2B emotional-wellbeing/HR-tech model after discovering most demand was work-related.
