Time for a thread! ⬇️

Talkspace was founded in 2012 by couple Oren and Roni Frank after a transformative experience in couples therapy that saved their marriage. The company began as a group therapy platform but has evolved to a company offering online psychotherapy from licensed therapists. $HEC

The company has a well stacked management team with experience from various blue-chip and global companies across different industries such as McCann, Amdocs, UnitedHealthcare, EY, and Bain. $HEC

In Feb 2020, the company appointed Mark Hirschhorn as President, CFO, and COO.

Hirschhorn served as COO and CFO of Teladoc $TDOC, the nation's leading provider of telehealth services.

He joined Teladoc in 2012 and grew the company from $10M in revenue with 45 employees to $500M in revenue and 2,500 employees when he left at the end of 2018. While at Teladoc, Hirschhorn was responsible for its M&A strategy, including the acquisition of BetterHelp. $HEC

Funding: The company is backed by multiple funds including Qumra Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, Spark Capital, SoftBank, Compound Ventures and FirstTime.

Talkspace $HEC company snapshot:
- 2 million members served
- 39 million commercial covered lives
- 46,000 active members
- 2,650 providers
- 68% of members saw improvement in symptoms

Virtual therapy is the future.

COVID or not, it's here to stay. There are multiple hurdles and processes around in-person therapy that virtual has an upperhand on $HEC

Talkspace $HEC has achieved massive growth both from a B2C to a B2B perspective. In my opinion, the real opportunity lies in the B2B space:
- Employee assistance programs
- Behavioral Health
- Direct to Employer

Current B2B clients include blue-chip and Fortune 500 companies like Google, Cigna, Humana, Blackstone and Accenture.

Companies will continue to invest in the health and wellness of their employees and it will shift from a perk that's good to have to a necessity. $HEC

Cities, colleges, schools, and public institutions will start pulling out of their budgets and subsidies to enable online therapy for its residents, students, and employees. $HEC
