About us
Real talk. Real people. Real-time emotional support.
VentNow was created to bridge three essential gaps in emotional support: accessibility, immediacy, and affordability.
We know that not everyone needs a therapist, sometimes, you just need someone who will truly listen.
Talking about your feelings — even without seeking advice — has been shown to reduce anxiety, regulate emotions, and improve mental clarity. It’s not about fixing everything; it’s about releasing what’s been weighing you down, out loud, with someone who genuinely cares.
That’s why we connect people with trained Venting Buddies who offer real-time, one-on-one support centered on empathy, presence, and lived understanding. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, breakups, burnout, or just a heavy day, you’ll be heard, seen, and supported in under 60 seconds.
Our listeners go through extensive training in active & empathic listening and are guided by a structured support model built to validate, not diagnose. They're not therapists, they’re real people trained to show up with compassion, not solutions.
Users are matched with Listener Buddies based on the topic they choose — whether it's anxiety, heartbreak, burnout, being overwhelmed or something else. And every buddy they’re connected with has real-life experience navigating that same struggle. This shared understanding creates a deeper sense of connection, empathy, and trust from the very first message.
And they’re backed by intelligent technology:
Our AI listens in real-time to help guide the conversation, suggest meaningful prompts, and deliver a personalized summary with emotional insights and practical takeaways after each session.
Early peer support can help people feel better, faster — without needing to wait, explain, or mask what they’re feeling.
We believe everyone deserves a safe space to vent — without judgment, pressure, or stigma.
Because being heard shouldn’t be a luxury.
It should be human.
