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.

Listing is free. If you want the “Vetted by ThreadLight” badge, a sponsorship adds a relaxed vetting call where we get to know how you work.

Free to list. Optional sponsorship is $25/month, charged only after you pass vetting.

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 what they're actually looking for. Every listing is free and appears whenever it matches what someone asks for. Sponsorship can add one clearly labeled spot; it never decides whether you appear.

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

If your work serves the neurodivergent community with affirming values, you belong here.

We serve a broad range of businesses and resources.

Examples of who lists

Who we don't list

  • ABA providers
  • Businesses unwilling to receive subscriber feedback
  • Businesses that do not accommodate neurodivergent clients
  • Providers who encourage masking
  • People who view neurodiversity as a problem to be solved

Fit decides what surfaces.

We compare what a subscriber is asking for with what each listing offers, and respect the limits they set: where they are, how they want to meet, the language they need, and accessibility. Listings that don't match don't surface. Among good matches, a listing that has passed vetting gets a small boost. A sponsored listing can be shown first, labeled “Sponsored,” but only for searches it genuinely matches.

Flat, predictable, the same for everyone.

Listing is free for everyone. Sponsorship is optional, flat, and the same price for every business. There are no per-lead or per-click charges.

What you get Price
Listing (services, products, and resources) Free
Sponsorship (services and products): a vetting call, the “Vetted by ThreadLight” badge, and the labeled sponsored spot. Charged only after you pass vetting; turn it off anytime and keep the badge. $25/month

From listing to discovery, in four steps.

1
List or claim. Create your free listing, or claim the one we made for you from the link we emailed.
2
A quick review. A person at ThreadLight reviews every listing before it goes live. Until you've had a vetting call, your listing says “Not yet vetted.”
3
Subscribers find you. Elia surfaces your listing when it matches what a subscriber is looking for. We text you how many people viewed it each month.
4
Get vetted, if you'd like. Sponsor your listing for $25/month to book a 20-minute vetting call. Pass, and you get the “Vetted by ThreadLight” badge and the sponsored spot. You're only charged once you pass.

Honest numbers, a few times a month at most.

If you choose to get texts when you claim your listing, we keep you posted without filling up your phone.

When people start finding you: a text when your listing gets its first views.
A monthly summary of how many people viewed your listing. If sponsorship would have shown you to more people, we tell you how many, measured from real searches, never estimated.
Never anything about the people searching. No names, no search terms, no locations.
Reply STOP anytime and the texts stop. Your listing stays up.

What we don't do.

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

ThreadLight is

  • A discovery platform
  • A free directory of affirming businesses
  • 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. Sponsorship buys one clearly labeled spot for searches a listing already matches; money never puts a listing in front of someone it doesn't fit, and never decides whether a listing appears.

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.

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.

Why is my business listed? I didn't sign up.

When people in your area are looking for services like yours, we sometimes add a free listing using information your business publishes, so they can find you. Those listings say “Not yet vetted.” You can claim it for free to keep it accurate, or ask us to take it down from the listing's page or by replying to our email. We won't list you again.

How do you decide what shows up?

Elia compares what a subscriber asks for with what each listing offers and respects their limits, like location and language. Vetted listings get a small boost among good matches, and a sponsored listing can take the first, labeled spot for searches it genuinely matches.

Do you charge per lead?

No. Listing is free, and sponsorship is a flat $25/month. 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.
