Relationship Hero is an on-demand coaching service that connects people with certified relationship coaches over chat, phone, or video - any hour of the day. Founded by Liron Shapira and Lior Gotesman and backed by Y Combinator, it turns a friend's late-night advice into a productized service, offering practical, in-the-moment guidance on dating, breakups, cheating, and marriage. The company reports coaching over 100,000 clients through a roster of 100+ coaches.
Liron Shapira is a startup founder, angel investor, and host of Doom Debates, a podcast and YouTube show built to raise mainstream awareness of human extinction risk from artificial superintelligence. He is the cofounder and CEO of Relationship Hero, a Y Combinator-backed coaching service that has guided more than 100,000 clients, and was previously cofounder and CTO of the app-search company Quixey. A fixture of the online rationalist community, he is known for putting his probability of AI-caused doom near 50% by 2050, for his sharp public critiques of crypto and web3, and for turning a $10,000 early bet on Coinbase into roughly $6 million while still calling cryptocurrency essentially worthless.
