New York and Prague-based startup Upheal, which provides a mental health platform for clinicians, has secured $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Headline. The funds raised will help create a better work-life balance for mental health professionals.
- Founded in 2021 by Juraj Chrappa and Martin Horvath, Upheal is a platform designed to help mental health clinicians reduce burnout by automating administrative tasks such as video calls, progress notes, and analytics.
- With features designed to simplify documentation and scheduling, Upheal enhances work-life balance for providers while ensuring HIPAA-compliant security and data privacy. The platform empowers clinicians to focus on delivering quality care without the stress of administrative burdens.
- According to the startup, since its Series Seed funding in February 2024, Upheal has tripled in usage, with over 36,000 mental health professionals saving up to 40 hours per month. Upheal has partnered with Alma, Cartwheel Care, Author Health, Noble Health, and Insight Counseling.
“Providers must have complete confidence in any product that handles sensitive data, which is why we are deeply committed to privacy and security. We never store recordings, and users maintain full control over the duration that generated insights remain on the platform,” said Martin Horvath, co-founder of Upheal.
Details of the deal
- The Series A round was led by Headline, a global venture capital firm that supports startups across all stages to scale internationally. In September, Headline closed a $865 million global growth fund and launched a new team and strategy to back later-stage tech startups.
"We’re excited to support Juraj, Martin, and the Upheal team as they lead a much-needed shift towards a more balanced, efficient, and effective mental healthcare for all," General Partner at Headline, Christian Miele, stated.
- Prague-based early-stage VC Credo Ventures and Kaya Ventures also participated in the round.
- Upheal will use the funds to expand its team and enhance its AI-driven tools, allowing mental health providers to focus more on client care by reducing administrative tasks.
