🚀 We are delighted to announce the closure of our seed round! A warm welcome to Peak, our new investor, and a heartfelt thank you to our current investors and friends, The Inner Foundation, Unconventional Ventures, and Calm/Storm, for their continued support. In an interview with Impact Loop, Tiffany Boswell, our CEO, explains why she started Meela, how she never intended to become an entrepreneur, and how investors are (actually) keen to invest in mental health. "Personally, I hope that more impact companies can show venture capitalists that purpose and profit can go hand in hand", says Tiffany Boswell. With this funding, Meela is ready to take on new challenges and opportunities in the UK market. We can't wait to see what the future holds!

Founder, The Startup Station | Founder, PowerUp Globally | Strategic CFO | Serial Entrepreneur, Speaker, Startup Advisor | Author of Starlight | Champion of Female Founders and Advocate for Fair Access to Capital
Finally an industry acknowledgment of how important mindset is to entrepreneurial success. Thank you Founder Mental Health Pledge for advocating for such an important cause. I believe working on your mind is as important as working on your business. It’s part of my everyday routine and it has helped me tremendously. A famous tennis player Roger Federer worked on his mindset for several hours a day and credited it to be the reason for his incredible success. Mindset has always been a critical part of PowerUp precisely for that reason. Our coaching program is specifically focused on addressing these challenges. Our cost effective approach allows to reach founders everywhere. Our first cohort is already running, three more open for enrollment! https://lnkd.in/dJr97RCS Thank you to Melek Capital, Open Opportunity Fund, Forum Ventures, Red Swan Ventures, Roadster Capital, evio.vc and Playfair for being first. Note: mental health goes beyond mindset. Not everything can be willed away. Thus it’s also incredibly important to make it accepted to treat our minds when needed, without shame or fear of being judged. To get the help we need to succeed. #foundersmentalhealthpledge #FounderPledge #FounderMentalHealth #thestartupstation #powerup #entrepreneurialmindset #thoughtleadership Clarence (Hamp) Hampton Thierry Vodounou, MBA, PMP Lori Sokol, PhD Nicki Bedford Deborah Streeter Angela Shurina Executive Coach

Physician & Explorer. Founder, CEO @WellFounded. Researching the limits of human performance & healthy longevity.
Great coverage Claude Alan Woodruff! Important that the industry does not stop at words. Implement! Early data from our research does, however, indicate that only reducing cultural risk of 'all nighter trophies' and the consequent mental health catastrophes, while absolutely necessary, is not sufficient for the majority of gains to be made in founder health and performance, mental and physiological. This is not rocket science - companies, leaders and funds don't need to wait for the next Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology to implement the essentials. The majority of founders and funds ought to flourish more, and fail less, following well established health and performance best practice applied routinely in other domains for decades - elite sport, the military, expeditions and other 'extreme occupations' where leaders and teams face heightened physiological and mental demands. There is no reason why the health and performance gains seen in these other industries and domains will not translate to the startup world. Our very early data supports this, at least when implementing integrated physiological and mental health essentials with elite performance coaching for leaders and teams. In any case it is great to see all these funds vocalising their support. Change is happening thanks to Founder Mental Health Pledge and other superb contributors in this space. Time now to implement the essentials and study the ROI, both financial and human.

🌟 Hey everyone! Mirko Känd and I have some exciting news – we're gearing up for our pre-seed round for Mental Pin! If you happen to know any outstanding angel investors or early-stage VCs specializing in healthtech, we'd greatly appreciate any warm intros! 😊 We're a mental health startup developing a discrete haptic device and a journaling app. It's designed to help women find calm during moments of intense anxiety, while also empowering them to gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, thoughts, and emotions. We're aiming to conclude this round by December. Interestingly, some of our friends have expressed interest in investing, prompting us to consider structuring the round to accommodate FFF! Yes, you read that right, FFF! We're excited to open up this opportunity to our friends network, giving everyone a chance to invest in our mission to enhance mental health for individuals dealing with anxiety. While we're still ironing out the details, we're planning to allow small investments starting at just €1,000. If this piques your interest and you'd like to learn more, please reach out! 🚀💬 #MentalHealthTech #StartupFunding #PreSeedRound #InvestmentPotential #FFF

Just listened to DC Cahalane's insightful and fun (as expected😊) Interview on The Entrepreneur Experiment with Gary Fox. One of my favourite parts of these interviews are the book recommendations and DC didn't disappoint! - these 3 books will be downloaded or bought this week! 'The story of LuluLemon' by its Founder Chip Wilson, 'Faster than Normal' (turbo charge your focus and productivity with the secrets of the ADHD brain) and of course 'The Messy middle' by Scott Belsky! - if you can tolerate the complete Cork bias 😉 this interview is definitely worth a listen, there are lots of tips for companies preparing for that critical VC meeting, stellar advise on playing to your strengths, and understanding the difference between speed and velocity! - well worth a listen grab a cuppa or your sneakers and enjoy!

Bespoke HR Solutions for Diverse Workforce Needs. Helping HR Professionals & Leaders With Accessibility, Inclusion, Diversity & Wellbeing Challenges. Disabled ♡ Neurodivergent ♡ Surviving Cancer 🎗 Cat Crazy! 😻
#WellbeingWednesday People/Business Leaders: 🗣 "We must do more to get people talking about mental health" 🗣 "There must be more support, closer to people's homes" 🗣 "Access to support, much earlier, is vital and saves lives" 🥳 Me, when I see posts like this, and I subsequently make the following comments, as I'm super excited to find others, seemingly aligned to the mission that I have with the social enterprise that I founded. That noone should be left behind: ⬇️ 🗣 "Wow, how amazing Chance Marshall & Self Space 👏😍 "Any sites in rural communities?" I ask. I go on to explain why I ask this: 🗣 "A 5th of the population live in rural communities & they face huge challenges & barriers to accessing support when they need it. These inequalities cost lives. Inequalities such as support services at distances many miles/hours away." I follow up with feedback from the rural community, who talk to us, as the only organisation that represents the rural voice, for England & Wales: 🗣 "In fact we know that when people don't see a service, they believe it doesn't exist, therefore they tend only to reach out for support when at or approaching crisis. For many people, sadly that is too late!" I tag in Rural Mental Health Matters Limited to explain our vision: 🗣 "We want to have rural community wellbeing centres that could be combined with self space, cafe's etc to create a welcoming visible, accessible, inclusive hub for people living in rural communities." I explain how tough this mission (almost impossible) is, & why: 🗣 "As a social enterprise we receive no funding, despite being the ONLY organisation that represents the rural voice for England and Wales. We are looking to collaborate, raise funds via grants, donations and fundraising." 💡 I go on to discuss the amazing, innovative, ground-breaking ideas & solutions we have to tackle mental health inequalities: 🗣 "In addition to our rural wellbeing community centres we want to roll out the UK's first WOW vehicles, Wellbeing On Wheels, WOW indeed!" I provide further context via a link: 👉 Checkout what we are looking to do: https://lnkd.in/eVZU8cai The response? 🙈🙉🙊 😬 I'll tell you something, I've been at this since I founded Rural Mental Health Matters in 2019, and I won't give up! Because #RuralMentalHealthMatters 🥺 Isolation & loneliness are huge risk factors in suicide. 💡 One day an organisation or business with ££££ 💰 WILL listen, will support us, and will change the world.... 🌎 Because our plans to tackle the inequalities in rural communities, are WAY bigger than just the UK! #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthMatters
We've raised a few bob. Our mission is to positively transform the culture around mental health by supporting people and companies to reach their full potential.
