Platform ranked in the top 10 in social media for promoting mental
wellness and helping users learn from experience-based knowledge of
others

TEL AVIV, Israel–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wisdo,
the transformative self-care platform that helps guide people through
meaningful life events, announced it has been named to Fast Company’s
prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (MIC)
for 2019 in the social media category. The list honors the businesses
making the most profound impact on both industry and culture, showcasing
a variety of ways to thrive in today’s volatile world.

By connecting individuals and groups around shared life experiences,
rather than shared friends or interests, Wisdo is forging a new path
within the social media landscape by creating a support network
specifically designed to help users navigate all of life’s challenges
with everything from getting married to dealing with loneliness.

“Despite being more connected than ever before, people tend to feel more
lonely as a result of the public facade they put forward on traditional
social media. This constant masking of real life experiences, paired
with the lack of a trusted guide, is creating a growing uncertainty
about how to handle new or challenging life events,” said Wisdo CEO and
co-founder Boaz Gaon. “Being recognized among Fast Company’s Most
Innovative Companies further validates our success in creating a network
meant to support mental wellness, instead of impair it, by connecting
people around these shared experiences and drawing from the collective
wisdom of those who have been there.”

Wisdo provides the world’s first map of human wisdom, or
experienced-based knowledge, collecting the key touchstones and critical
steps in the thousands of life experiences and applying its proprietary
machine learning technology to cluster and connect the people who have
“been there.” This results in a “Wisdom Graph” filling the gap left by
Google’s Knowledge Graph and Facebook’s Social Graph – namely, a network
that supplies timely and forward-looking insights and services that
reduce anxiety, increase social support and build self esteem.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature
franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of
the year. It provides both a snapshot and a roadmap for the future of
innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy. This year,
Fast Company’s editors and writers sought out groundbreaking businesses
across 35 industries and every region. They also judged nominations
received through their application process.
