What you’ll get out of this episode

  • Why Headspace and Ginger merged into Headspace Health (and how that partnership came to be)
  • Why Russ ventured into the digital health space after success in more traditional tech startups like Bizo (acquired by LinkedIn)
  • What Headspace Health is doing to improve adolescent mental health—and how it impacts society
  • Why Headspace Health decided to target the employer market before payers and direct-to-consumer models—and how those markets are expanding
  • What unexpected benefits you’ll get from a mentor if you’re open to it (and other founder advice!)

If you’re a startup founder, investor, mental health advocate, or want to learn more about selling to employers, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
