The story
Founded in 2021 as a therapist-led employee mental health platform for European companies, competing with Spill, Modern Health, and Lyra. Since evolved into 'Oli' — an AI Performance Partner embedded in Slack/Teams that bundles therapy, coaching, and manager training into a broader team-performance product. The company is positioning itself away from pure EAP toward an L&D / performance-management wedge, using aggregated therapy insights as its data moat.
