Nearly half of the parents polled in a recent National Parents Union study said that their children over the past two years have faced additional mental health challenges and difficulty in school as a result of the pandemic. And thanks to a longstanding therapist shortage , families seeking traditional care may wait months to see a provider, creating additional opportunities for startups to step in and offer new services. For youth mental-health startups to find success, it's important to remember that what works for adults won't necessarily work for children, the Telosity report said. Founders should also keep in mind that young people are more difficult to engage; healthcare providers are clamoring for digital tools that can improve existing care; and parents need resources, too. The Telosity study found that in 2020 and 2021, youth mental-health startups focusing on clinician access, improved online experience, emerging technology, and positive skill-building were the top drivers of investments. Other categories driving less investing right now include wellness and self care, engagement and adherence, nonlicensed support services, and assessment. There have already been some winners emerging in the youth mental-health market. Elemy, which provides digital autism care, and GoGuardian, which monitors students' online activity for self-harm risks, are two unicorns valued at $1.15 billion and $1 billion, respectively. Elemy and GoGuardian raked in $313 million and $200 million, respectively, in funding last year. Akili, which uses video games as assessment tools for mental health disorders, raised $110 million, while autism therapy startup Cortica raised $60 million. Sign up for notifications from Insider!
