Zenklub is the mental and emotional wellbeing platform in Brazil
About Zenklub
Zenklub, founded in 2016 by Portuguese nationals Dr. Rui Brandão and José Simões, operates a digital platform for mental and emotional health, primarily targeting the Brazilian market. The company's inception was deeply rooted in personal experience; Brandão, a medical doctor, was motivated to enter the mental health space after his mother was diagnosed with burnout syndrome. This event highlighted the societal focus on physical illness over emotional well-being and inspired him to shift from a traditional medical career towards a more scalable, preventative approach to health.

The firm has established a business-to-business (B2B) model, providing its services as a corporate benefit to companies, which in turn offer it to their employees. This strategy has proven effective, with a client base that includes major corporations like AmBev, Natura, and Volkswagen do Brasil. Zenklub's revenue is generated through these corporate partnerships, functioning as a comprehensive emotional health solution for organizations aiming to improve employee well-being, productivity, and retention. The platform provides companies with data-driven reports and metrics to track the emotional health of their workforce, enabling them to address critical issues proactively.
Zenklub offers a multifaceted online platform and mobile app where users can access a network of credentialed professionals, including psychologists, coaches, therapists, and psychoanalysts, for virtual sessions. The service is designed for accessibility and convenience, allowing users to schedule sessions via video, chat, or audio. Beyond one-on-one consultations, the platform features a range of self-help tools, such as behavioral tests, guided meditations, and educational content on topics like anxiety, stress, and personal development. The company has secured significant funding, including a Series A round of R$45 million, to enhance its technology and expand its service offerings. In October 2023, Zenklub was acquired by Conexa Saúde, marking a significant milestone in its trajectory.
