Oliva Health secures £4.8m in seed funding led by Stride VC to expand its mental health platform
Stride VC led the seed round for the workplace mental health platform, which will use the funds to roll out new digital tools and expand its care offerings.
Oliva Health operates an advanced workplace mental health platform that blends clinician-led care with digital tools. The company focuses on addressing conditions such as stress, depression, anxiety, and burnout for employees.
Oliva Health has secured £4.8m in seed funding led by Stride VC, with additional participation from Moonfire. The capital will be directed towards accelerating new digital tools, introducing support for additional languages and time zones, and expanding care offerings to include workshops and self-guided content.
Founded in 2020, the company aims to tackle workplace mental health challenges by combining human clinical expertise with technology. The platform has experienced steady revenue growth and recently appointed Dr Sarah Bateup as Chief Clinical Officer to oversee clinical standards.
This transaction represents a notable funding event in the European digital health sector as employers grapple with rising workplace mental health costs.
