Company mission

Mindlabs' mission is to make the world a happier place by changing the stigma around taking care of your mental health. They want to make taking care of your mental health as normal as going to the gym.

Our take

Mindlabs want to tackle growing challenges with mental health, under increased pressure particularly as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. The platform, initially available as a mobile app, combines live video from professionals in therapy, psychology and mindfulness with an online community and analytics allowing users to track their current levels of stress or relaxation through an EEG headband, called “Halo”. The headband measures signals, like heart and respiration rates, that can help show users how effective their sessions are and track their progress.

It is this combination of video classes and EEG headband that differentiates Mindlabs from other mental wellness apps, allowing users to witness a positive progression of their mental health.

The company is in an exciting space with global consumer spend on the top 10 earning meditation apps growing from $8 million in 2015 to $195 million in 2020. It will use its impressive investment to continue growing its engineering, video production and content teams. In addition, it plans to monetise through monthly or yearly subscriptions, and user data collected through Halo or the app will only be used to make personalised content recommendations.
