OUR TEAM

WHAT IF VENTURES

There is very little dedicated capital for early-stage mental health- and addiction-related startups. There is no shortage of angel investors, but there are only a few digital health funds that invest in mental health startups, but certainly not their main focus. However, many of those heath-focused funds have grown in scale in recent years and can’t focus on seed stage investments. So, What If Ventures is here to fill the funding gap for early-stage mental health startups.
