From the Sunday Times:
The mental health start-up employing Prince Harry is to open a London office and hire 75 staff after demand for its app surged during lockdown.
BetterUp, where the prince is chief impact officer, is also opening an office in Munich, with plans to add 150 staff in Europe in the next 12 months.
Chief executive Alexi Robichaux said: “Demand is pulling us into these markets.” He also said Prince Harry, who joined in March but is now on paternity leave, “provided some helpful insights and tips” when the company was planning its UK expansion.
In February, California-based BetterUp, founded by Robichaux in 2013, raised $125 million (£90.1 million) at a $1.7 billion valuation.
Its app costs $249 a month for users in the US, who get one-to-one coaching sessions on everything from work and mental health to nutrition and parenting. US clients include Facebook, Google and Nasa. BP has signed up in the UK.
