Subject: BrightPath – $700K ARR | Youth Mental Health Platform
Hi [Investor Name],
Reaching out to share BrightPath Health — we deliver youth mental health care within 72 hours through school-linked triage and therapist matching.
We’re currently at $700K ARR, 6× YoY growth, 88% retention, and live with pilots across school networks representing 40K+ students. We’ve signed an MOU with NZ’s largest public school provider and are expanding our therapist network and reporting capabilities this quarter.
We’re raising $1.5M seed to scale district onboarding and expand clinical capacity. Given your work in tech-enabled care and system infrastructure, I thought this may be of interest.
Deck attached, company introduction pasted below.
If you're open to connecting, I’m available at the following times (your time zone):
Mon: 9:00–11:00am or 2:00–4:00pm
Tues: 10:30am–12:00pm or 3:00–5:30pm
Wed: 9:00–10:30am or 1:00–4:00pm

BrightPath Health
Industry: $10B youth mental health sector
Problem: Public and private mental health services have 6–12 week waitlists for adolescents, leaving families without timely or affordable care during periods of acute need
Solution: BrightPath delivers clinically vetted therapy within 72 hours via digital triage, addressing urgent access gaps for youth.
Key competitive advantages:
– Direct partnerships with school systems for built-in distribution
– Proprietary triage engine prioritizing acuity and fit, not intake order
– Therapist-matching algorithm with 94% first-match satisfaction
Market: Targeting a $3.4B wedge in youth telehealth, with expansion into adult care and education-based delivery. While incumbents focus on adult B2C or employer-driven plans, BrightPath is the only vertically integrated model designed for youth-first, school-linked mental health care.
Product: Mobile-first platform with 24-hour matching, progress tracking, and school compliance reporting — optimized for low-barrier onboarding in institutional settings
Traction: $700K ARR, 6× YoY growth, 88% retention; active pilots across three education networks representing 40K+ students
Pipeline: Signed MOU with NZ’s largest public school provider; expanding therapist network and launching outcome-based analytics module
