Back in 2017, a trio of visionary individuals - Amir Kaplan (CEO), Martin Villanueva (COO) and Gabriele Murrone - embarked on a transformative journey to create ifeel. With the shared desire to make mental health care more accessible, they laid the foundation for what would become ifeel, a platform pioneering the path towards reshaping the landscape of mental health services through innovative digital solutions.

Ifeel's core mission centres around digitally expanding therapy access. It achieves this by integrating its AI-driven exclusive platform with licensed psychologists’ clinical expertise, offering users a fresh approach to managing their emotional well-being. From self-care to interactive therapy sessions, users receive individualised guidance from a variety of sources, including articles, emotion diaries, audio guides, relaxation techniques, meditation assistance, and direct interactions with professional psychologists.

On the flip side of this, HR managers have access to anonymous meta data that helps them better understand the problems they should be tacking within their organisations, thereby elevating both the weight placed on mental well-being, as well as their capacity to make effective policy changes to that end. This distinctive multifaceted approach derives synergies from HR driven organisational change with individual growth and support to champion the ultimate goal of improving mental well-being across the globe.

ifeel stands as a leading emotional well-being service, partnering with corporations to offer an annual support plan that integrates prevention, monitoring, and individual exercises with specialised therapists. By taking a comprehensive approach that works in multiple languages, ifeel is maximising user engagement and retention with an impressive 90% of users reporting improved emotional and mental well-being as a result of their experience with the service.

What we liked about ifeel

ifeel sets itself apart from its competitors with its comprehensive approach to well-being that encapsulates both proactive and responsive measures. This strategy that manifests itself though a range of complex well-being tools, chatbots, and personalised one-to-one video therapy give ifeel a truly defensible and unique offering in the mental health ecosystem.

Overall, ifeel is keenly aware of the problem, and even more thorough in its desire to provide actionable solutions that contribute to their founders' mission of reshaping the emotional well-being industry for the better. Overall, their forward thinking approach is not only innovative but severely needed, and we are very proud to be able to stand behind this team of incredible people as they change the world.
