Generative AI is transforming industries. 💫 At Peak, we’re deeply committed to supporting founders who leverage these cutting-edge technologies to solve real pain points. Many of our portfolio companies have successfully integrated GenAI (e.g Creative Fabrica, Trengo) and we have made several investments (e.g. Neople, Frontnow) in this exciting space so far. Therefore, we are excited to share our investment thesis about our latest investment: HealthSage AI, an open-source platform enabling GenAI in Health. We couldn't be more excited to team up with Harm-Jan Wessels, Marcel Alberti and Despoina Ioannidou, PhD. 🤝 👉 Read all about the investment thesis here! https://lnkd.in/e65JvrKr #generativeAI #venturecapital #seed

🚀 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!

📣 We are thrilled to share Peak’s investment in Meela! Meela is transforming mental health care by revolutionizing matchmaking between patients and therapists. Instead of just focusing on accessibility, Meela prioritizes personalized matches, ensuring a better fit for patients. Why is this important? Currently, 50% of patients drop off after just 3 sessions. With Meela's innovative algorithm-driven platform, this dropout rate falls to an impressive 3%! 🌟 A big shout out to Tiffany Boswell, Brendan Molloy, Natalia Petravis-Zarins and the entire Meela team - we are very excited to be onboard! Also we are looking very much forward to partnering with Unconventional Ventures, The Inner Foundation, and Calm/Storm who are also joining the round.
