Thea is building the future of AI doctors for aesthetics (skincare, hair, anti-aging, peptides, weight and others). Thea’s first product is a clinically trained AI dermatologist. Consumers face long wait times, complex insurance and a legacy healthcare system designed for patient visits to only last a few minutes. Thea is built to solve this: the app analyzes your skin, lifestyle and products and then assists in diagnosing what could be causing skin issues and recommends treatment protocols and products powered by a seamless purchasing process. Users take one simple photo to understand the best OTC products for you, access to RX prescriptions and a complete understanding of what cosmetic treatments to get, which doctor to see, at the best price. 

The company was founded by Kevin Chiu, who previously built and sold his software company Catalyst. When Kevin was younger, he suffered from bad acne and felt defeated by the incumbent dermatology & healthcare system, which was the inspiration behind Thea. 

BrandProject invested in Thea in 2026. Other investors include General Catalyst.
