Floreo

Floreo develops virtual reality systems for neurodiverse learners, offering research-backed lessons and tailored programs to meet individual learner needs. The platform helps improve social, behavioral, communication, and life skills for individuals with autism spectrum disorder through immersive VR experiences that simulate real-world scenarios in a controlled, repeatable environment. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Washington, DC, Floreo has raised approximately $19.4M in Series A funding from investors including Autism Impact Fund, The Disability Opportunity Fund, Mercury Fund, City Light Capital, HHS, and Presence Capital. The company employs 53 people and leverages VR's immersive nature to provide safe practice environments for skills such as crossing a street, interacting with police officers, or visiting a doctor, enabling individuals with autism to develop and rehearse critical life skills that are difficult to practice in real-world settings.
