Our take
In the US, 1 in 4 citizens are living with treatable mental health conditions. But a vast majority of people are unable to access the care they need, often due to cost. Headway connects clients with therapists who accept insurance as payment, and provides independent practitioners with the tools and resources needed to both serve their patients and manage administrative workloads.
Headway’s concept is timely, with national mental health under particular strain following recent events. The company facilitates over 600,000 appointments per month and has attracted backing from the likes of Accel and Google Ventures. It is working to broaden its presence across the US while building out its product and pursuing the application of AI in health care.
