Notable quotes
“We're investing in companies that help young people with eating disorders, with moderate to severe anxiety, with a whole range of things that are really clinical in nature. But there are also some interventions that we want to look at upstream – things that help young people find purpose, that help young people feel like they're contributing, that help them build connections and support and relationships.”
“Through Hopelab Ventures we provide investment and partnership to advance social impact, mental health, and well-being outcomes for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ young people. Our portfolio includes solutions for a wide range of mental health challenges and populations, including a number of companies that prioritize BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth, school-based telehealth, and a gold-standard intervention for eating disorders.”
