The company’s mission is inspired by a personal journey. After exiting his previous startup, founder Laurentiu Balasa entered a period of soul-searching, ultimately identifying emotional suffering as a shared human experience he wanted to help address. The idea behind SoulStream.ai is to use technology not to replace faith or community, but to support it with a constant, non-intrusive companion people can turn to in their hardest moments.

The journey of SoulStream.ai began with Basmo, a reading companion app designed to support emotional well-being through journaling and habit-building. As founders Laurentiu Balasa and Marius Iordache observed, users gravitated towards Bible-related content during moments of personal difficulty, which signaled an unmet need for deeper, faith-rooted support.

This realization led to the creation of BibleChat, a digital companion that quietly assists users through daily struggles, offering presence, not just answers. Now, with over 10 million downloads and more than 4 million monthly active users, it is currently the top-ranked app in the US App Store’s Reference category.

More than 100 million conversations have taken place between users and BibleChat’s AI, offering comfort, perspective, and biblical insight at scale.

BibleChat offers personalized, scripture-rooted responses to life’s emotional difficulties. Users can engage in guided spiritual dialogue, receive AI-generated prayers tailored to their unique circumstances, and follow daily devotionals adapted to their personal faith journey. Behind this technology lies a custom AI model developed in partnership with theologians, ensuring faithfulness and empathy.

With plans to expand BibleChat into new markets and to develop new features, including BibleChat for Kids and tools for pastors, SoulStream.ai is building an ecosystem of digital spiritual support grounded in human needs, not just user metrics.

SoulStream.ai represents a rare and high-impact company emerging from Romania’s early-developing tech ecosystem. The local market has historically seen few scaled B2C companies and limited access to growth capital for startups aiming to expand internationally.

Laurențiu Bălașa and Marius Iordache have grown BibleChat to over four million monthly active users in a remarkably short time and, through their journey, they’ve become a source of inspiration for other founders.

In doing so, the two entrepreneurs embody one of Endeavor’s core values: paying it forward - the Multiplier Effect. As part of the Endeavor network, SoulStream.ai gains access to a broad range of strategic resources - from global mentorship and investor connections to talent support and international expansion opportunities. These benefits will be instrumental as the company scales BibleChat globally. At the same time, SoulStream.ai can serve as a role model and mentor for other ambitious founders in the region, inspiring more entrepreneurs to dream big and pursue global impact. Its inclusion reaffirms the belief that startups from Central and Eastern Europe can lead at the intersection of innovation and humanity.

The selection of SoulStream.ai into Endeavor’s global network was met with enthusiasm across the board. Endeavor Romania’s Managing Director highlighted the company's unique contribution to the local and regional tech ecosystem, celebrating its potential to inspire the next generation of founders: “BibleChat’s selection into the Endeavor network shows just how far Romanian entrepreneurs can go when they innovate with purpose. By using AI to foster spiritual connection while offering mental health support, the BibleChat team is paving the way in an emerging field with global impact. We’re proud to stand beside them on this journey”.

From the founders’ side, Laurentiu Balasa shared his excitement about joining a network of mission-driven peers and tapping into Endeavor’s global resources as BibleChat continues to grow: “Looking forward to join a community of actual builders, a network of people that values execution more than ideas - a place where results speak louder than hype or hollow entrepreneurial rhetoric”.

Their inclusion - alongside the other Endeavor Romania Companies like FintechOS, DRUID, Creatopy and Dexory - signals a rising confidence in Eastern European innovation to shape the way technology, in SoulStream.ai’s case, supports emotional and spiritual well-being worldwide.

In the US, 60% of adults believe their faith or spirituality is essential to supporting mental wellness. SoulStream.AI is a technology company that creates AI-powered spiritual and mental health apps, with a current focus on Christian faith-based experiences.

Its flagship product is BibleChat, an app that acts as a spiritual assistant by offering personalized biblical guidance and emotional support through an AI trained on the Bible. Users can engage in conversations with the AI, follow Bible studies, and receive daily prayers.

With over 10 million downloads across more than 50 countries (with strongest presence in the US, Brazil, and the Philippines) and has quickly become the #1 app in the US App Store Reference Category and the fastest-growing app in Europe.
