For neurodivergent providers, professionals, and small business owners

It's hard to find the right clients or customers.

List your business on ThreadLight to get connected with neurodivergent people who are looking for businesses and providers like you.

We take the time to talk to every single provider, professional, and business on our platform in order to ensure that we feel comfortable recommending your services or products to our community.

Flat monthly listing fee of $25 for products and services. Resources are free.

What ThreadLight is

A discovery platform.

We're not a referral service or a clinical matching platform. We're a discovery platform, similar in structure to Yelp or Google for affirming businesses. Subscribers find you through Elia, who helps them discover options based on quality, fit, and what they're actually looking for. Payment determines whether you appear on the platform at all. Quality determines where you rank in main results.

ThreadLight does not list ABA providers. Our subscribers come to us specifically to find care and services outside that model.

How ranking works

Fit decides what surfaces.

We compare what a subscriber is asking for to the listings on the platform. We weigh how a business's neurodivergent-affirming practices align with that subscriber, and how well the listing matches what they're looking for. Bad fits don't surface, on either dimension.

Pricing

Flat, predictable, the same for everyone.

Every business pays a flat monthly listing fee. Listing fees don't influence where you appear in subscriber results.

What you list Monthly fee
Products $25/month
Services $25/month

How listings work

From application to discovery, in four steps.

1
Sign Up. Create an account and your first listing.
2
Vetting and onboarding. A 20-minute onboarding call to confirm neurodivergent-affirming practices. License verification where relevant.
3
Subscribers find you. Elia surfaces your listing when it matches what a subscriber is looking for. Rank is shaped by match quality, click-through behavior, and post-connection feedback. Every listing has to clear the affirming-care floor to surface at all.
4
You get feedback. After subscribers connect with you, Elia checks in. Their feedback is the strongest signal in your rank, and it's the truest read on whether subscribers felt seen.
What you see in the portal

The signals that shape your rank, visible to you.

We don't ask you to trust a black box. The same signals that move your listing on the map are visible in your business portal.

Your position relative to the affirming-care floor, and which of your listings are currently surfacing.
Post-connection feedback themes from subscribers, in their own words and anonymized. This is the most heavily weighted signal.
Click-through rate against listings in similar positions, and how it trends over time.
How you're performing relative to category averages, so a low absolute number in a low-volume category doesn't read as bad performance.
Clarity on the relationship

What we don't do.

The platform's structure is honest about what it is and isn't.

ThreadLight is

  • A discovery platform
  • A directory of affirming businesses, ranked by quality
  • An AI guide (Elia) that helps subscribers find what they need

ThreadLight is not

  • A referral service
  • A clinical matching platform
  • A party to your professional relationships with subscribers

We don't refer subscribers to specific businesses. We don't share subscriber data without consent. We don't allow businesses to write or edit reviews. We don't accept payment for higher ranking, and money can never move a listing past the affirming-care floor.

What we expect

Business responsibilities.

Keep your listing accurate: what you offer, who you serve, where you're located.
If you're a licensed professional, hold a current, valid, unrestricted license in your practice state and carry professional liability insurance.
Respond promptly to subscribers who reach out: we recommend within 24 hours.
Tell us within 10 business days of anything that materially changes your eligibility (license suspension, exclusion from a federal healthcare program, insurance lapse, etc.).
Use subscriber contact data only to respond to the specific subscriber who reached out about your services. Don't add subscribers to mailing lists, don't share or sell their information.
Stop contacting a subscriber if they ask you to.
Questions we've heard

Frequently asked questions.

Can I pause without canceling?

Yes. Mark your listing as not accepting new subscribers and you stay listed but Elia won't surface you. Turn it back on whenever you're ready.

Can I see what's shaping my rank?

Yes. The business portal shows where you sit relative to the affirming-care floor, anonymized post-connection feedback themes, your click-through rate against similar listings, and how you're trending. The signals that move your rank are the signals you can see.

Do you charge per lead?

No. Listing is a flat monthly fee. There are no per-lead or per-click charges.

Why don't you list ABA providers?

ThreadLight is built around an affirming-care framework. The neurodivergent community we serve has been clear about what "affirming" means to them, and ABA falls outside that framework. This is a values decision baked into the platform.

How do subscribers find me?

Subscribers text with Elia about what they're looking for. When their need matches your category, geography, and fit, Elia surfaces your listing. Subscribers choose who they want to connect with; we don't push contact info either direction without their explicit consent.
