Product Manager

Meela is a VC-backed mental health startup on a mission to help millions of people find their best-fit psychologist. Today, because people are not matched to a psychologist, 50% of people will drop out of therapy early (because they didn’t match with their psychologist. Both co-founders have personally been there themselves (having to test multiple psychologists before they found one that matched) which is why they started Meela.

Since its launch in March 2023, Meela has helped over 20,000 people find their best-fit therapist and has been named one of Europe’s hottest startups. The female founder duo was on Draknästet and Meela’s CEO was named Female Founder of the Year. In our opinion, we believe it should be as natural and easy to go to therapy and get help from a therapist, as it is to go to the gym and get help from a personal trainer.
