On a growth course with therapy programs

The company was founded in 2015 by psychologists Prof. Dr. David Ebert, Dr. Hanne Horvath and Dr. Elena Heber. HelloBetter offers ten therapy programs from eight problem areas, which serve both the prevention and treatment of classic mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety or panic disorders, but also cover topics such as vaginismus or chronic pain. So far, four therapy programs from HelloBetter have been approved by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) and are available free of charge on prescription for all adults with health insurance.

The latest capital injection will help HelloBetter further scale its evidence-based mental health products. For example, the money will be used to strengthen sales and marketing efforts and expand data analytics capabilities. HelloBetter also plans to expand into new markets and continue to grow its portfolio of digital therapy programs.

“Global societies face serious challenges that negatively impact people's mental well-being. Many suffer silently, but the impact is already being felt in the workplace, where sickness absence due to mental health issues is reaching record levels. We are therefore delighted to have HSBC Asset Management's support, which will enable us to further develop evidence-based mental health solutions to empower people to change their lives for the better.”
Hannes Klöpper, CEO and co-founder of HelloBetter
