Our take
Work can be stressful, and not everyone has the time or resources to get the support then need. In fact, job burnout is estimated to cost the US around $200B in health-related expenses each year.
Modern Health is a mental wellness platform working to de-stigmatize mental health care by making it available to everyone. And it does so by providing companies with a holistic mental wellbeing solution that can address their employee's individual needs and engage an entire workforce.
The global mental health market is predicted to grow 3.5% annually and be valued at over $500M by 2030. Modern Health is the fastest entirely female-founded company in the US to reach Unicorn status, having raised over $170M in less than two years, bringing its valuation to $1.17B. On top of this, it has partnerships with high-profile celebrities, including tennis player Naomi Osaka. And with over 75,000 users and more than 220 corporate clients, the future sure looks bright for Modern Health.
