AI for EQ at work | Rapport
Our vision
AI for EQ at work.
The last decade gave every company more tools and less connection. We're building the opposite: technology that makes work more human, one conversation at a time.
"We believe every employee deserves an advocate."
Work is full of software that watches people. Rapport is built to back them: it learns how you work best, notices when you're stretched, and speaks up for what you need, acting only on what you choose to share. When every person has something in their corner, teams get stronger, and culture stops being a poster on the wall. Rapport is what happens between people who know each other. We named the company after the outcome.
The science
Built on the hardest research about the hardest conversations
Our Chief Scientist, Dr. Peter T. Coleman, leads the Difficult Conversations Lab at Columbia University, where researchers study what actually happens when people disagree, give hard feedback, and navigate conflict. That research is woven into Rapport's coaching, so the moments most likely to break a team become the moments that build it.

"The highest-performing teams have four positive interactions for every negative one. Rapport sets the stage for productive conversations, even on tense or divisive topics."
