Frequently Asked Questions

We work with for-profit mental health companies ranging from pre-seed to Series A. We work with companies around the world, but our core strengths are helping companies address the US market. We have worked with several european-based companies to help expand their reach in the US. There are no cutoffs for revenue, although the majority of companies are post-revenue and have significant proof points for achieving product-market fit. We do not accept non-profit organizations at this time. 

We look for teams with a track record of high performance and deep expertise in the problem they are solving. We prefer that at least one founder has a clinical or scientific background. Our north star is the impact that a company may have on the lives of those living with mental illness. OMA companies demonstrate a significant improvement over the current competitive landscape and are generally based on a key insight or breakthrough that will give them an unfair advantage. We have worked with companies that have raised friends and family rounds and companies that have raised $30M+ in institutional funding. The OMA Founder Community is incredibly important to us and we look for founders that will be active contributors to the community. 

The One Mind Accelerator spends considerable time with each company before the program begins to understand the specific challenges your business faces. We tailor the program, the mentors and introductions we make to ensure you’re working on your most pressing business problems before, during and after the program. OMA has deep connections across payers, hospital systems, large employers, top investors, mental health experts and researchers, nonprofits, foundations and government agencies that provide direct access to the key components of the mental healthcare system in the US and beyond. You and your company will also spend time connecting with the other companies in your cohort and the One Mind Alumni network of founders to unlock opportunities for collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas, strategies and resources. 

We’ve worked with companies with $30M+ raised and $20M+ in ARR and have unlocked huge value through our networks, founder community and strategic sessions for these companies. If you are selected for the program we are happy to make introductions to these founders so you can solicit their feedback directly.

OMA companies have gone through programs such as Y Combinator, Techstars, and healthcare specific programs and have still benefited from the One Mind Accelerator experience in important ways. The difference with OMA is that the entire program is built from the ground up to only provide useful, not widely available and actionable insights for companies in the mental healthcare space. The experience of any two companies going through the program is substantially different as we emphasize customized paths for each company. You will not be a party to generic content during the 9 weeks of programming. 

As of the 2025 program One Mind will not be making a cash investment up front, nor will we be taking equity. The One Mind Accelerator asks for a small portion of advisory shares commiserate with the market rate for an individual advisor. We have the ability to invest after the program in qualified companies. We have a strong network of VCs, foundations and partners that may co-invest upon acceptance into the program on a case-by-case basis.
