Before founding I V Y Labs, Mandy Silverman moved from venture investing to Apple, Shutterfly, Yelp and LoopUp. The pattern behind those stops now lives inside Ivy Pay: make a complicated transaction feel like one ordinary tap.
I V Y Labs is a San Francisco mobile-first company building simple, HIPAA-secure tools for independent mental health providers. Its flagship product, Ivy Pay, lets therapists charge a client's credit, debit, HSA or FSA card on file with a single button push - no card readers, checks or monthly fees - at a flat 2.75% per transaction. Founded by former Yelp executive Mandy Silverman, the company set out to remove the awkward friction of getting paid so therapists can focus on care, and has expanded toward helping clients discover and connect with the right therapist.
