Our take
Mental health issues affect about 20% of Americans, so there’s an immense need for qualified mental healthcare in the US. However the vast majority of therapists don’t accept insurance due to the prohibitive administrative workload involved. This leaves therapy out of reach for many Americans. So it’s no surprise that the Grow Therapy platform has seen skyrocketing popularity since it was founded in 2020.
Grow Therapy helps therapists open their own in-network practices, providing the technology, support, and resources to tackle the extra operational workload that would allow them to take insurance. It’s currently live in 13 states, and is working in partnership with all the major insurance payers including Humana, Aetna, Cigna.
The company has clearly grown into a solid market niche, and recent Series B funding will help expand that niche, growing the company's presence to all 50 states and improving its platform's capabilities. While this will intensify the competition between Grow and larger rivals Alma and Quartet Health that are operating in the same space, this is a big enough market for several major participants.
