Mental health support for technology companies and startups

Tech teams move fast and burn out quietly. Layoff whiplash, always-on Slack culture, and the pressure of building against a runway make mental health support a retention lever, not a perk. Spill is mental health support for tech companies, delivered as on-demand counseling: a licensed therapist for every employee, booked from Slack or Teams in one click, often for the same day.

Technology & Startups

Proudly supporting tech and startup teams

Fast companies, quiet burnout

Sprint culture that never actually ends, on-call rotations that bleed into weekends, and post-layoff teams doing three jobs each with a side of survivor guilt. Remote-first setups mean struggling engineers can go unnoticed for months. The data backs the feeling.

Burnout, climbing

46% of employed US tech professionals report being burned out, up from 31% in 2024. (Dice Tech Sentiment Report, 2026)

The founder toll

72% of startup founders say entrepreneurship has taken a toll on their mental health, yet only 23% see a psychologist or coach. (Startup Snapshot, 2023)

Layoff whiplash

Only 34% of US tech professionals say they've been untouched by layoffs, down from 56% in 2023, and 22% have been personally laid off. (Dice Tech Sentiment Report, 2026)

A retention lever, not a perk

From SaaS and fintech to AI, cybersecurity and games studios, Spill lives where the team already works, so usage is high and quiet strugglers get help before they churn.

Support inside Slack and Teams

Booking lives where the team already works, so usage is high and struggling engineers get help before they churn. Keeping one senior engineer costs less than a month of their replacement's recruiter fee.

Built for pressure, not just crisis

Counseling and coaching for ambiguity, imposter feelings and sustained compliance-grade pressure: the real failure modes of very smart teams. Same-day sessions after major incidents help teams process a breach week instead of quietly updating their resumes.

Remote-native by default

Video sessions bookable across US time zones, so a distributed team gets identical access whether they're in New York, Austin, or working from anywhere.

All-in-one on-demand counseling for your team
