We're Daybreak Health (http://www.daybreakhealth.com/), and we're on a mission to ensure that every young person has the benefit of mental health support. We deliver evidence-based virtual and in-person therapy to kiddos and teens aged 6-19, making a real difference in their lives. We've teamed up with public school districts and health insurance companies to provide free, accessible mental health care to all families. Why? Because we firmly believe that every child should have access to mental health support as an essential part of their education. Watch this video
We're a YC-backed company that raised its Seed from Maven Ventures, Series A from Lightspeed Ventures and just announced our Series B led by Union Square Ventures. Over the past 2 years, we've seen incredible success and are growing rapidly and efficiently. Now, we're on the hunt for amazing people to join us in critical roles as we continue to speed ahead with our national expansion.
