Jeff Beck is the CEO and co-founder of AnswersNow, a platform that makes high-quality, BCBA-led therapy, accessible.
As an LCSW and in-home therapist, Jeff saw first-hand that the current state of services (outpatient therapy, in-home counselors, specialty schools, hospital systems and clinics) had a number of flaws, including long wait lists, poorly trained clinicians, and a lack of convenient parent and caregiver training and support.
Jeff started AnswersNow to solve those problems. AnswersNow offers individualized programs tailored to each child's needs and uses an interactive virtual platform that pairs families directly with their own personal BCBA. AnswersNow has raised over $65M in venture capital, and currently delivers therapy to thousands of families across 6 states.
Jeff studied Sociology at Randolph-Macon College where he played 4-years of varsity baseball. He received his MSW at Virginia Commonwealth University and obtained his LCSW 2-years later in 2011. He’s an active mentor to the next generation of Social Workers both through VCU and informally. When not working on access to care, Jeff spends his time running around Richmond with his wife Amy, 8-year old Sonny, 4-year old twins Gray and Bennett.
Two industry CEOs sit down for an unfiltered discussion about what it really takes to run and grow autism platforms in today’s environment. They’ll compare how they are rethinking strategy, capital allocation and operating models and retention in light of reimbursement contraction and shifting regulatory expectations. Attendees will hear where these leaders are doubling down, what they’re cutting, and how they’re preparing their organizations for the next wave of change.
