7% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Telemedicine platform Brightside Health provides users with fast access to personalized treatment plans, expert providers, and ongoing 1:1 support for anxiety, depression, and more. By leveraging evidence-based therapy and precision medication, the company’s machine-learning algorithm delivers affordable results-based care plans for everyone.

There are a number of online mental health care platforms to choose from, however, not all of them are as affordable, simple, or fast as they claim. While Brightside Health only offers video therapy (no audio-only or live chat sessions), its affordability and transparency distinguishes it from its competitors (such as Talkspace, BetterHelp, and Cerebral).

The company has raised substantial funding, most recently led by ACME Capital and Mousse Partners, and is focused on further expansion across the US, platform improvement, and building new partnerships. Brightside Health is well-positioned to see continued growth as it reimagines anxiety and depression care.
