Our take
Spectrum.Life has grown into the largest service provider of its kind in Ireland, providing both digital and on-site wellbeing support for the workplace. Because of the pedigree of its founders and leadership, who have built a network of health and wellness companies under the ‘Spectrum’ name, the company has found much success since its 2018 foundation.
Growing rapidly throughout 2021 - both in Ireland and the UK - as more focus was given to workplace mental health, the platform's growth in popularity saw it raise funds, increase staff and invest in R&D. Yet more funding will allow the company to further develop and scale its platform, including by adding new features and resources, as well as invest in expanding its team.
