Continuing on with introducing our portfolio companies. This week: Healper

Healper - An online platform that matches you with the psychologist and
health tools that fit your person and journey. Healper's vision is to create A healthier and happier world. -To help people live their lives fully by being their guiding friend to optimal mental health.

For us at SandstormVC, the topic of mental health is center stage, and we are happy to have led Healper's pre-seed round at an inflection point of their journey with an incredible milestone, having matched 1% of Denmark's youth on the Healper platform (https://lnkd.in/dPYfHAa4) 

Healper is solving the mental health crisis with a two-pronged approach: helping people find the right therapist AND helping therapists manage their practice in a digital and GDPR compliant way:

For patients: A simple approach to booking the right psychologist
Healper is a booking platform that matches clients with mental health
challenges with the certified mental health counselor according to their
mental health challenges, personality, and other factors factors. This increas-
es the chance of chemistry between patient and psychologist from 20% to 90%. You can book, pay, and give feedback through the platform.

For psychologists: Find suita-ble clients, focus on their therapy, and let Healper handle the rest. Healper is a marketplace where psy-
chologists can specialize and focus on therapy. The psychologist creates
a profile, sets the price and begins to take clients. Thereby, This drastically
reduces administration and the client acquisition cost, allowing psychologists to take more clients. It is a win-win.

The team around Andreas Aabo, Tobias B. Pankoke and Rasmus Ravn Frost was what ultimately made our decision to invest in Healper easy. They call themselves "The nerds who wants to disrupt mental health". A
team of passionate nerds on a mission to make the world a happier healthier place. Jointly, they have been recognized as the pioneering mind of the year by McKinsey and entrepreneurial excellence by the Korean advanced institute of Science and Technology. We are ad-
vised by an awesome mix of successful founders, international leaders including the co-founder of Soundbox, the founder of Free Trailer and the Founder of Happy Healper.
