Allswell
Allswell is a queer-founded, community-first mental health company delivering virtual, affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ adults. It pairs clients with licensed therapists trained in LGBTQ+-affirming care and evidence-based modalities (CBT, CPT, EMDR, DBT, IFS), and blends one-on-one video sessions with peer groups and community spaces. Live in Maryland and in-network with Medicaid and major insurers, Allswell raised $1.3M in pre-seed funding led by Amboy Street Ventures to close longstanding gaps in mental health care for queer people.
Dawn Androphy
Dawn Androphy is the co-founder and CEO of Allswell, a venture-backed telehealth startup delivering identity-centered, evidence-based mental health care to LGBTQ+ adults. A Stanford MBA and former Microsoft and BCG operator, she has spent more than a decade organizing with queer community groups before turning that experience into a company that pairs licensed affirming therapists with affordable group and individual care. Allswell raised $1.3M in pre-seed funding, is live in Maryland and in-network with Medicaid and major insurers, and is expanding across the DC-Maryland-Virginia region.
Circles
Circles is a New York-based digital mental health company that connects people facing similar life challenges - grief, divorce, infertility, caregiving, narcissistic relationships - into small, professionally facilitated peer support groups. Founded in 2020 by Irad Eichler and Dan Landa, its mobile and web platform pairs trained therapists with groups of strangers who share a struggle, betting that being heard by people who actually understand is its own form of medicine. The company has raised $24.5M and grown to more than 160,000 members.
Marble Health
Marble Health is a New York-based youth mental health company building a school-centered model of care. It partners with school counselors - not just school district budgets - to identify struggling students and match them with licensed therapists within days, covering visits through insurance including Medicaid. Marble combines individual, family, and group teletherapy with a purpose-built therapist EHR and AI documentation tools, and folds counselors and parents into a collaborative care team. Founded by former Headway co-founders Jake Sussman and Dan Ross, the company has facilitated more than 15,000 therapy sessions since launching and raised a $15.5M Series A in October 2025.
Jake Sussman
Jake Sussman is the cofounder and CEO of Marble Health, a virtual behavioral health company that embeds inside American schools to get anxious, depressed and overwhelmed kids into group therapy within days rather than months. He helped build Headway into a mental-health unicorn, then walked away to teach fifth-grade English at a Brooklyn charter school, where one overstretched counselor for hundreds of students convinced him the youth side of the system was broken. In 2023 he founded Marble with fellow Headway alum Dan Ross, betting that insurance-funded virtual group therapy, routed through school counselors, could scale care without waitlists. By late 2025 Marble had run more than 15,000 sessions and raised a $15.5M Series A led by Costanoa Ventures.
