About Groops

We are living and working through the most disconnected era in modern history. More than half of Americans report feeling lonely while 47% report their relationships with others are not meaningful. In the workplace, 8 in 10 people feel alone and unengaged, costing U.S. organizations $406 billion every year in low productivity, high turnover and poor wellbeing. 

We at Groops believe it’s time we start feeling and living better by working better together. As the world of work becomes increasingly complex and people expect more purpose and fulfillment from their professional lives, building more connected work groups is the greatest differentiator for organizations who want to keep and grow their talent and build a brighter future.

Groops is the first group connection platform that helps colleagues build stronger relationships through ongoing expert-led virtual workshops grounded in group psychology. Our niche is connection building, not traditional coaching. Our founder and CEO Dr. Bobbi Wegner is a clinical psychologist with deep expertise in group psychology who teaches motivation and culture in the organizational psychology program at Harvard University. 

We have partnerships underway with big organizations dedicated to creating a more connected future of work. We are looking to accelerate growth with new organizational partners to reach more employees in 2023 and beyond.
