Meela update: Successful funding round - founders featured in the press discussing the innovation that matches you with the right therapist



After the successful seed round completed this summer, in which the startup Meela raised a total of 30 million SEK and was featured in media outlets such as Impact Loop and Breakit, the founders have continued to receive media attention, most recently in Lokalt i Dalarna and Psykologtidningen.


Medgrundaren Natali Suo intervjuades nu i söndags i en artikel i Lokalt i Dalarna där hon diskuterade Meelas initiativ att inkludera terapi i det svenska friskvårdsbidraget!


Co-founder Natali Suo was interviewed this past Sunday in an article inLokalt i Dalarna where she discussed Meela's initiative to include therapy in the Swedish wellness allowance!


"It's fantastic that we have a wellness allowance, but unfortunately, it can't be used for preventative measures like therapy," Natali Suo is quoted as saying.


To push this issue forward, Meela has started a petition to encourage this change, and the initiative has so far gathered 3,145 signatures.



Meela’s CEO and co-founder, Tiffany Boswell, appeared in the Swedish Psychological Association’s magazine,  Psykologtidningen, at the end of August, where she discussed the future of inclusive therapy.

Tiffany explains how Meela’s unique matching algorithm promotes cultural inclusivity and strengthens the relationship between client and therapist.

“Research shows that half of all therapy clients quit before the third session due to a poor match between client and therapist. Matching non-binary clients with non-binary therapists, for example, helps them feel genuinely understood and increases psychological safety,” she is quoted as saying.
