The European B2B mental health platform OpenUp has successfully closed a significant €20 million funding round. This substantial investment will fuel the company's mission to make mental well-being support accessible to employees across the continent.
OpenUp provides a comprehensive digital platform where staff members can access confidential, professional help. Services include direct consultations with psychologists and coaches, along with a library of self-help resources, articles, and interactive workshops. The platform is offered as a benefit by employers, aiming to create healthier, more supportive, and ultimately more productive work environments.
The fresh capital is earmarked for accelerating growth in existing markets and pursuing strategic expansion into new European countries. Company leadership emphasizes that the investment is a strong validation of the critical need for proactive mental health solutions in the workplace. The funding round was led by a group of investors including the venture capital firm DN Capital.
The platform's founder, Sascha Coppens, is a notable figure in the European health-tech scene, having previously founded the mental health service iPractice, which was acquired last year.
