Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We make it easy for people to find quality in-network mental health care by removing historic barriers faced by mental health providers, payers, and patients. 1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the vast majority do not get the care they need. The primary reason is cost: the majority of therapists do not accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is prohibitively expensive for prospective patients. This is where we got our start – Headway has built the first software-enabled network of therapists who accept health insurance, making it easy for therapists to grow their practices, and possible for patients to find quality care they can afford. Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 34,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation. We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience. Headway employees work remotely across the US, with the option to work from our NYC HQ. Headway is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, Headway will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodations. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and/or to receive other benefits and privileges of employment, please contact [email protected].

Here's the Cliff Notes of what we do: we're a female-founded company that helps people build relationships with the people they love. Here's the long version: I'm Julie, Small Packages' CEO. I started out as an attorney: graduated from Harvard Law School, and practiced at a large corporate firm. I had zero bandwidth to be a human, and my relationships with my friends and family suffered enormously. So, I quit, and became a relationship coach. I worked primarily with professionals in their 30s, and I saw the exact same thing happening to them. My clients were “successful” on paper but because of their sheer mental load, their personal relationships were atrophying, and it was ruining their mental health. I wanted to build something to fix it, because the scope of this problem is enormous. 3 in 5 Americans report feeling isolated, and that's a pre-COVID statistic. So, we built Stage 1 of our business, which you can see on our website today. Stage 1 of our company was pure gifting. We curate care packages for all occasions, with handwritten notes, that you can send in under 3 minutes. All of the thoughtfulness with minimal effort...no one wants to schlep to the Post Office. With $50k of investment from friends and family, we’ve scaled this business to over 6k customers, and we’ve done almost $1M in revenue. We’ve worked with Twitter, Uber, Deloitte on the corporate side….we are humming. Now it’s time for Stage 2: our app, “Present.” It’s the “Alexa for your personal relationships.” Everything you’re juggling right now, to keep your personal relationships strong, it will do for you, with just a few clicks. We completed Techstars in Oct 2021, where we found and brought on our CTO, Paul Simoni. He’s a full-stack engineer & a PhD. Our UX/UI designer was an early Hinge employee and worked at Spotify. We're growing incredibly quickly, and need to hire people who understand our mission (making it easy to have meaningful friendships, no matter how busy you are). If that's you, we'd love to hear from you. - We are a mission-driven, female-founded company that is dedicated to tackling the loneliness epidemic. - We're growing quickly, which means there's a huge opportunity for ownership. - We've taken the 15% pledge, and are dedicated to diversity in hiring. - Our CEO is a trained executive coach, and we take professional development seriously.
