SonderMind Raised $183 Million to Make Therapy Easier. The Hard Part Was Insurance.

Founded in 2019 by Andrew Adams and co-founders, Headway operates in all 50 states with roughly 34,000 clinicians and, after a $100M Series D in 2024, is valued at about $2.3 billion.

Inspired by the comprehensive European model of maternity care, Zaya gives small practices the leverage and efficiency of a large health system while letting them stay independent, and gives patients affordable, whole-person care beyond the standard OB-GYN visit.
