A venture investment opportunity in a managed, data-driven mental health platform in Europe that combines AI-based matching, clinical management, and professional support to standardize access to high-quality therapy. The platform operates across several European countries (the United Kingdom, Poland, Romania, and Ukraine) and serves thousands of B2C users and dozens of corporate clients. The project is focused on building a leading pan-European online therapy provider based on a scalable marketplace model with a high level of trust and quality control.
Regional focus of the project: Europe (EU + UK), with subsequent expansion across the CEE region.
Problem Statement
- Approximately half of Europeans have experienced anxiety or depression over the past 12 months, yet a significant share does not receive professional help.
- The mental health market is fragmented, dominated by individual practitioners and small clinics with a low level of standardization.
- There is a high trust barrier: users find it difficult to choose the “right” therapist and to assess service quality in advance.
- Most digital solutions are simple “listings” without clinical oversight, which reduces therapy effectiveness and client retention.
- Corporate clients require solutions with enhanced requirements for confidentiality, quality, and scalability.
Solution and Product Overview
The company addresses these challenges through a managed therapy model:
- AI-powered personalized therapist matching based on a short questionnaire and accumulated outcome data.
- Free introductory calls with Therapy Guides to reduce anxiety before the first session.
- Strict therapist verification and continuous quality control by a clinical team.
- Unified pricing per session and a standardized user experience.
- A dedicated platform for B2B and EAP clients: sessions, webinars, educational materials, and on-demand support.
- AI tools for scaling: accelerated therapist onboarding and automation of operational processes.
