Dr. Nick Taylor, Clinical Psychologist, Co-founder, and CEO of Unmind, said: “Unmind was built on the belief that everyone has the right to a healthy mind. Thanks to the support from our investors, this round of funding gives us the opportunity to scale our team while further developing the product with clinically backed insights and research.”
