We cover public and private market valuation trends impacting mental health startups, and we dig into results from a 150-investor survey we recently conducted on valuation expectations and market sentiment. We also share our 9 key takeaways on the mental health startup market going into 2021 based on our 2020 experience investing $5.4mm dollars into 9 startups in the space at What If Ventures.

Show Notes:
At What If Ventures we get asked this question all the time: “What is a fair VALUATION for my mental health Startup?”

I’ve summarized my thoughts on this topic based on 3 key efforts:
1) A recent investor survey of 150 mental health startup investors
2) Summary of public comps relevant to our space
3) Our insights into recent private market valuations / transactions
