Snapshot of the Business & Idea
Executive Summary
Business Concept
Licenses clinically designed mental health training programs for medium-sized companies seeking to improve employee wellbeing and retention.
Why We Chose This
Most mental health solutions are built for enterprise, not scale-ready licensing—leaving a gap for plug-and-play wellness tools for mid-market teams.
Core Problem
Human Resource teams face rising burnout, absenteeism, and turnover but lack scalable, evidence-based programs tailored for internal deployment.
Why Now
Mental health has shifted from a perk to a priority post-COVID, with companies actively seeking preventative, affordable solutions for staff wellbeing.
Who This Is Perfect For
HR and operations leaders at 100–1,000 employee companies looking for structured, license-ready mental health programs they can roll out quickly.
