Grow Therapy Insights
What We Do
Grow is a mental health platform built to enable progress. We see technology not as a layer on top of care, but as the connective tissue that helps it grow — and we believe that building it is some of the most important work there is. We are not only for crisis. We are for all the moments when someone decides they want more. More support, more clarity, more tools. Because mental health isn't a destination. It's a practice. And we are building the platform, the products, and the partnerships to make that practice possible for everyone. We are more than a marketplace — bringing together clinical expertise, always-on tools, and deep insights to help clients improve their lives, providers build practices they're proud of, and businesses offer demonstrably more effective and efficient care. So far, 15 million sessions have started on Grow, with 220M lives covered. Each one a step forward for someone, somewhere, building the life they've always wanted. Like the people we serve, we are in a process of becoming. Solving one problem. Making progress. Moving on to the next. Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone — pairing bold vision with a culture of balance, belonging, and whole-person wellness. We're proud to be backed by Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, and Plus Capital. Progress doesn't happen on its own. It happens because of talented individuals who build for the people they love.
