VICTORIA, CANADA – April 22, 2026
Memores Software Inc. today announced the launch of its $3 million SAFE funding round and the addition of two internationally recognized experts to its Advisory Board.
The company’s product, SPARKS, is a predictive relationship intelligence platform that applies behavioral analytics and AI to solve two of the most expensive problems organizations face: employee mental health crises and client churn. By analyzing passive behavioral signals across workforce communications and client interactions, our privacy-preserving early warning system identifies risks before they escalate, reducing expensive turnover on both sides while transforming mental wellness efforts and relationship management from reactive responses to proactive, predictive strategies.
Most organizations today are relationally blind: they measure outcomes, attrition, absenteeism, and productivity loss. These are all seen in hindsight and are only recognized long after the underlying relationships have already broken down. SPARKS changes this by delivering real-time Relational Intelligence (RI): AI-powered insight into the communication patterns, behavioral signals, and interpersonal dynamics that determine whether people and teams thrive or fracture.
Enterprise Validation Signals Early Commercial Momentum
The company has already signed an LOI with a major Employee Assistance Program provider serving nearly 20 million users worldwide, with integration pilots expected in Q4 2026. This partnership will be one of the largest digital mental health implementations globally and will validate SPARKS’ enterprise-ready architecture.
“Our team has built and scaled large Big Data behavioral analytics platforms before,” said Richard Zwicky, Memores’ CEO. “Our new technology predicts challenges before they occur and measures what was previously unmeasurable. We created SPARKS with the strongest privacy guarantees, clinical rigor, and enterprise scalability from the start. Our commitment to ethics, privacy, and quality is evident both in the commercial interest we’re attracting and in the caliber of individuals joining our advisory board.”
World-Class Advisory Board Signals Scientific and Ethical Leadership
Memores announced two appointments to the company’s Advisory Board:
Dr. Todd Coleman, Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University, is a pioneering researcher in brain-computer interfaces and brain-body physiological interactions. His work has garnered over 1 million TEDMED views, earned him a distinction as an IEEE Fellow, and led to his recent appointment as Chair of the National Academies Standing Committee on Biotechnology and National Security.
Dr. Pascale Fournier is a Full Professor at the University of Ottawa‘s Faculty of Law and the Founding Director of the Observatory on Human Rights at the United Nations. Dr. Fournier’s leadership, including roles as President/CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and Commissioner at Quebec’s Human Rights Commission, underscores Memores’ commitment to maintain the highest standards for privacy, equity, and access to justice in mental health.
They join Advisory Board Chair Dr. Michael Hawes (President/CEO, Fulbright Canada) and experts from UCLA, The Citadel, executive coaching, clinical practice, and philanthropy.
Proprietary Technology Creates Defensible Moat
The SPARKS platform employs a patent-pending method that combines real-time behavioral signal analysis with multi-framework psychological profiling to deliver predictive insights unmatched by any existing platform.
The platform’s Communications Coach is built to integrate across workplace communication tools, including Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and native mobile apps. Using proprietary algorithms, it analyzes communication patterns, sentiment shifts, and behavioral signals to detect changes and predict stress in individuals and relationships before users notice it themselves. Interventions are then customized based on each person’s psychological profile, including personality traits, attachment styles, trauma history, and communication preferences.
“The next breakthrough in mental health won’t come from better therapies alone; it will come from better tools,” said Dr. Coleman. “The SPARKS platform creates an unprecedented research infrastructure by capturing real-time behavioral patterns that traditional clinical assessments miss entirely. This opens pathways we’ve never had access to before.”
Critically, SPARKS was designed from the beginning to surpass privacy compliance standards, ensuring complete user confidentiality through on-device processing while also providing organizations with actionable insights into employee stress, client relationship health, and industry benchmarks. This privacy-centered architecture, combined with predictive rather than reactive features, differentiates SPARKS from generic-content competitors.
“Mental health data is among the most sensitive information we can collect,” said Dr. Fournier. “SPARKS’ methodologies and approach demonstrate that corporate needs, predictive analytics, and privacy protection aren’t opposing values; they’re interconnected design requirements.”
Massive Market, Critical Measurement Gap
Nearly one billion people worldwide are affected by mental health conditions, according to the World Health Organization. The global mental health market is expected to reach $560.33 billion by 2030, and despite this spending, stress still costs the economy $1 Trillion annually. Yet no existing platform combines behavioral prediction, psychological personalization, and privacy-preserving enterprise analytics at scale. Just as digital advertising lacked measurement infrastructure before Google Analytics, there is currently no platform to track the effectiveness or ROI of mental health treatment or spending.
Existing digital solutions have fundamental limitations: they provide reactive rather than predictive interventions, rely on generic information and content that overlook individual differences, and cannot measure outcomes beyond self-reported surveys.
$3M SAFE to Accelerate Commercial Deployment
Memores is launching a $3 million SAFE round to accelerate platform development and expand commercial partnerships. The company is actively in discussions with healthcare-focused venture funds, strategic investors, and impact capital.
