About CredibleMind

CredibleMind operates a digital mental health platform focused on self-care and navigating the complexities of emotional well-being and spiritual growth. Founded in 2018 by Deryk Van Brunt and Marcos Athanasoulis, the Sausalito, California-based company aims to provide a cost-effective, population-based mental health system. Van Brunt, the CEO, brings a background in public health, teaching health informatics at the University of California, Berkeley, and leading the Healthy Communities Foundation. Athanasoulis, the CTO, has extensive experience in health information systems, previously serving as the VP of Technology at Conduent and Director of Research Information Technology at Harvard Medical School.

The company's business model is primarily B2B, providing its platform to a diverse client base that includes health plans, public health departments, employers, and healthcare systems. These organizations invest in the service as a benefit for their members and employees, offering them a tailored portal with curated mental health resources. Revenue is generated through these partnerships, which allow organizations to provide a comprehensive mental health ecosystem that includes analytics on service needs and outcomes. Since its inception, CredibleMind has raised a total of $10.5M over three funding rounds, including a $7.5M Series A round led by Horizon Mutual Holdings in May 2024.

The CredibleMind platform provides users with access to tens of thousands of expert-curated and evidence-based resources across more than one hundred mental health topics. The platform's core offering, CredibleMind SelfCare, promotes prevention and early intervention by equipping individuals with tools and resources. Another key feature, CredibleMind SmartScreen, facilitates navigation to appropriate care through confidential assessments and personalized pathways. The service uses AI to personalize the user experience, blending self-care resources, validated assessments, and connections to the client's own health programs and care networks. This approach allows organizations to create customized portals, leveraging CredibleMind's extensive content library while integrating their own local resources to address the specific needs of their population.
